Gosport council recorded 5.4 fly-tipping incidents per 1,000 people a year from 2022-23 to 2024-25, 51% lower than the typical English council's 11.0. In 2024-25 it recorded 393, with council land the most common spot. Of those, 6 were tipper-lorry loads or bigger, which cost £1,750 to clear. It issued 2 fixed penalty notices, 1 of them a littering fixed penalty notice issued in conjunction with fly-tipping, and brought no prosecutions.
Gospit's dumped sofa has the usual selling point. Lovely view of Portsmouth.
