WHEN watching the Tyne Tees ITV News last week I almost cheered when a mechanical grab in a scrapyard lifted a flatbed truck into a crusher and it came out totally wrecked. It belonged to a fly tipper and it was impounded to be crushed.

I think this is a brilliant idea but I also think the vehicles should be auctioned and the money raised used to remove fly tipped waste.

I think fly tipping is one of the worst of anti-social crimes ever.

I feel heartily sorry for our custodians of the countryside, our farmers, who usually have waste dumped on their land.

If it was up to me the fly-tippers would be crushed with their vehicles.
