East Lindsey council recorded 10.4 fly-tipping incidents per 1,000 people a year from 2022-23 to 2024-25, 5% lower than the typical English council's 11.0. In 2024-25 it recorded 1,603, most of them on the highway. Of those, 30 were tipper-lorry loads or bigger, which cost £4,500 to clear. It issued 23 fixed penalty notices and brought no prosecutions.
Horncastle's fly-tippers are just antiques dealers who've given up pretending.
