Fly-tipping residents have been told to clean up their act as cameras look set to be installed at a beauty spot in Bordon following months of illegal dumping. 

Whitehill Town Council looks set to install cameras around the fringes of Deadwater Valley as some of its neighbours have persistently used the Local Nature Reserve as a dumping ground. 

Building materials, tyres, wood and asbestos sheeting are among the items which have been thrown over garden fences onto the reserve in recent months. 

Figures from WTC and the Deadwater Valley Trust have joined forces to launch a clean-up operation with one resident being commended at a meeting last week for their response.  

A skip will be hired so the existing waste can be removed before RING-like cameras are put in place to catch offending residents in the act. 

“This has been going on for years,” said town clerk, Lorraine Jeffs, to the WTC Executive Committee last week. 

“We want people to remove the rubbish themselves then get some volunteers together to help with the clean up.” 

“It’s everywhere and it seems that whoever has a fence that backs onto it, they just launch rubbish over,” added Cllr James Fryer on his return to WTC. 

The camera earmarked by the council will cost less than £200 and will sit atop a pole with anti-climb protection while another has been earmarked for Jubilee Park amid problems with graffiti and vandalism, especially at the pump track. 

Access to footage will be limited and signs will be installed.
