Just two fines were issued by Cheshire East Council for fly-tipping last year, it has been revealed.
A Freedom of Information request to the council showed that in 2019/20, two fines were issued but only one was paid.
A new team of officers recruited to tackle fly-tippers across Crewe and Nantwich, have issued 232 fixed penalty notices.
The private contractors, who started last week, aim to reduce fly-tipping, littering and dog fouling in the borough over the next 12 months.
New figures show Cheshire East Council wardens dished out just 25 fines for littering across the whole borough in 2013-14. And there were just NINE fixed penalty notices for dog fouling in the region for the same period.
