| Hounslow Highways are responsible for investigating fly tipping for evidence of perpetrators. People think this is dead easy but I have been out more than once and gone through bags. On the second occasion (in Kingsley Road Hounslow) we searched over 200 bags (from memory) and found 6 addresses. We are currently recruiting dedicated enforcement people into the council to attack fly tipping hotspots in partnership with Hounslow Highways, Recycle 360 and, where appropriate, the police. Hounslow Highways are excellent at picking up reported flytips (it is a specific duty under their contract) but unfortunately this sometimes has the unintended consequence of people thinking it's OK to leave out a bag as somebody will pick it up. Wrong, it's an offence, and we're getting better at catching people and will get better still when our dedicated enforcement people are here. |
