Fly tippers could see themselves shamed in a "rogues' gallery" as part of a new crackdown.

The measure could be included in a new scheme to tackle anti-social environmental crimes in Norwich.

It could see images of people caught on CCTV fly-tipping shared on the city council's website as an extra deterrent.

The move comes after the Labour-led authority set aside £100,000 in its budget for the Love Norwich campaign, which is intended to help pay for initiatives to keep the city clean and safe.

At a council meeting on Tuesday, Labour's Martin Peek welcomed the funding but told his colleagues that City Hall should look at all options, including "sharing images on a wall of shame" for those who commit offences. 

Cate Oliver, cabinet member for environmental services, said: "We would absolutely consider sharing images on a wall of shame, although I would personally prefer to call it a 'rogues' gallery'."

She stressed it was not intended to be a "crime watch" group but compared it to a scheme rolled out by Barking and Dagenham council which shares videos of those caught fly-tipping.
