Fly Tipping on the rise
My last visit to the tip cost almost £10, I have never had to pay anything to visit the dump, it surprised me but it’s not all bad if the money is put to good use, tips have come a long way in the last 30 years.
It did make me think that some people will not be happy with paying and fly tipping will rise, the latest figures show over 1 million incidents in the past 12 months, an incredible amount and a huge cost to taxpayers, this is the 4th year in a row that the numbers have increased and an increase of 7% on last year.
It’s very hard for councils to take enforcement action, the time, the money, warnings, follow ups...
This has seen enforcement drop on last year, 56,000 fixed penalty notices were issued with a maximum fine without going to court of £400.
It’s not just a council problem, it’s the victims as well, the victim being the land owner that has to clear up other peoples mess when fly tipping occurs on private land, and pay for the dubious privilege of doing so, if a private land owner does not clear of the waste left that can themselves face prosecution, which in my view is outrageous.
The solution must be to get tough, increase the penalties and educate people to the consequences, fixed penalty fines can be issued from a minimum of £150 to £400, and more and the council needs to prosecute through the courts, it would be nice to see the fine increased, councils should have the power to impound vehicles if caught fly tipping, other call for naming and shaming.
One group of children have come up with a softer approach creating art to give the impression the tippers are being watched, a brilliant idea that will educate and give publicity to the fact that fly tipping is not acceptable.
