Firstly, a change of attitude and culture, so that some people—those who do fly-tip—realise how anti-social it is. Secondly, of course, enforcement and working with Natural Resources Wales and local authorities, and the public, indeed, to make sure that happens. And, thirdly, through enforcement of penalties. For example, we know that we’ve looked at introducing fixed penalty notices for small-scale fly-tipping incidents. That provides local authorities with a more efficient and proportionate response to low-level, high-volume offences, but, of course, for those who are more serious and more serial offenders, then, of course, they can be prosecuted within the law. But this does depend on intelligence coming from the public in order to provide the evidence in the first place.
