First Minister, in Islwyn, we face, on the historic Twm Barlwm tump, the scourge of fly-tipping, and it costs Wales nearly £2 million each year in clean-up costs, which ultimately have to be paid by the taxpayer. This rural crime is harmful to human health and spoils the enjoyment of our stunning countryside. Since 2007, Welsh Government has funded Fly-tipping Action Wales, an initiative co-ordinated by National Resources Wales and involving over 50 partners working together to tackle fly-tipping through education. What does the Welsh Government believe are the actions needed to achieve our vision of combatting this menace?
