Locals appalled by fly-tipping of freezers in Great Yarmouth

Great Yarmouth woman Myam Royal discovered the waste on a protected parcel of land near Gapton Hall, on a track leading up to nearby allotments. 

The freezers appear to be from a shop and were once used to sell Wall's ice cream.

To raise awareness of the crime, Ms Royal posted the pictures on social media, saying she had also reported it to the council. The post was met with agreement from other users who were "appalled" by the fly-tipping.

Breckland Council is the first district in Norfolk to adopt the new penalties which act as a deterrent to would-be offenders. 

Under the new measures, the maximum fine for fly-tipping is raised from £400 to £1,000, while littering carries a maximum penalty of £500, up from £150.

They are designed to ensure people are held accountable for their actions and that the penalties are "reflective" of the harm they cause to the environment.
