Pair spotted fly-tipping after 'children's party'

Two men have been caught on camera fly-tipping after what is thought to have been a children's birthday party.

Slough Borough Council said two men were caught on CCTV "dumping bags of present wrappings, left-over food and other rubbish by the litter bins," on the Cinder Track at the junction of Hampshire Avenue in Slough, Berkshire.

A spokesperson for the council said: "If anyone is under the impression that this is OK, it is not. It is fly-tipping and there is no excuse for it."

They added the video was "just one example [of what] we are forced to deal with on a daily basis" and that in 2025 it had started two campaigns to tackle the issue.

Fly-tipping is the criminal offence of illegally dumping waste with a maximum fine of £1,000.

The authority installed CCTV and ANPR cameras at the Tamar Way clothing recycling banks and on the service road for Hampshire Avenue and Waverley Road last year to help tackle fly-tipping.

The council's campaigns include educating residents about the right way to dispose of waste and all the options available, followed by enforcement backed by CCTV and ANPR cameras that target "hotspot areas".

The spokesperson said: "The majority of residents have been supportive in our approach.

"We encourage them to report issues and when necessary ask for their help and support to identify those who fly-tip when we cannot trace them.

"It is a minority of residents who feel it is acceptable to treat our town like a dump."

They added: "There is no excuse for fly-tipping and we will continue to clamp down on those who treat our town like a tip."
