Llandysul fly-tipping incident investigated

Carmarthenshire Council environmental enforcement officers are investigating a serious fly-tipping incident in the Llandysul area.
Numerous paint tins and a gas canister were dumped in a stream near Brwyn Duon Farm, Bancyffordd.
The incident is very serious as it had the potential to cause pollution to the water in the area.
Officers are appealing to the public for any information which may help them to catch those responsible.
Amongst the items found at the scene was a paint tin with the name ‘Phil Evans’ on it. A white Transit type van with Phil Evans Electricians on the side was also seen near the scene of the incident.
Anyone with any information on an electrician named Phil Evans, possibly from the Llandysul area, is asked to get in touch so that he can help with the investigation.
Executive Board Member for Environmental and Public Protection Cllr Jim Jones said: “The council is committed to tackling fly-tipping and is working hard to improve the quality of the environment in Carmarthenshire.
“Not only does fly-tipping spoil our quality of life and enjoyment of the environment, but it can cause serious pollution and harm to human health and wildlife.
“We all have a part to play in keeping our communities clean and I would urge anyone with any information which may help to catch the offenders to please contact the council.”
The council, as part of Fly-tipping Action Wales*, is working hard to stamp out the problem of fly-tipping by working with other partners such as the police, Environment Agency Wales and Keep Wales Tidy.
Fly-tipping is a criminal offence and anyone caught could be fined up to £50,000 and/or up to five years in prison.
If you have any information in relation to this incident, please contact Carmarthenshire Direct on 01267 234567.
