The Reform UK-led council said the bridleway, which links Ecton to Earls Barton, had seen a “complete end to fly-tipping”.

It said that between January and March, some 39 fixed penalty notices were issued for fly-tipping.

It also carried out a number of covert operations, removed illegal clothing banks from Wellingborough and dealt with 72 reports of abandoned vehicles.

Councillor Ken Harrington, executive member for waste and environmental services, said: “The case in Ecton is a fantastic example of how targeted action and strong partnerships can deliver real results for our communities.

“The transformation at the site shows that we will not tolerate fly-tipping and are committed to using every tool available – from enforcement and surveillance to prevention measures like gating – to protect our environment.
