Fly Tipping Incidents Several incidents of fly tipping have been reported in Maughold during March. Resulting in the Commissioners having to use Parish resources to remove the illegally dumped goods.

Sometime in early March two televisions, a crate of beer glasses, and wine and whisky bottles were dumped in a plantation on the Dreemskerry Road. The police are currently following up an interesting lead and would appreciate any additional information. The glass was in a particularly dangerous location for anyone walking or riding past on a cycle. The consequences of a slip or a fall on to such brittle sharp materials make this an even more worrying incident.

In mid March 8 large bags of garden waste were left at two points above Hibernia on the Gooseneck Road. This included a large quantity of palm leaves. The police suspect that these materials were deposited by a gardening contractor. Any information that might help to identify the culprit would be appreciated.

The Commissioners request that any activity that appears out of the ordinary is reported either directly to the Warden on 422148 or to the Police at Ramsey.

Fly tipping is occurring with increasing frequency and any assistance with curbing this illegal behavior would be most welcome. Several years ago there was a successful prosecution following an incident of tipping in the parish. The Commissioners hope that the perpetrators of the recent incidents can be similarly dealt with.  ¶ 18:43
