POLICE are making spot checks on lorry loads of timber in an effort to help contain the spread of Dutch elm disease, according to the Forestry Commission.
Already a Yorkshire timber merchant has been fined £150 with £25 costs for contravening an order that restricts the movement of elm with the bark still attached.
It is understood that two more prosecutions are pending elsewhere in the country.
The regulations are specific in that they apply not only to sawn wood but also to felled trees.
