Fly-tipping: Rural Areas
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact on the Police Funding Settlement (England and Wales) 2026-27 on the provisions for tackling fly tipping in rural areas.
Answered by Sarah Jones
As a result of the 2026-27 police funding settlement, Norfolk Police will receive up to £248.7 million in 2026-27, which is an increase of £9.5 million on the previous year. This equates to a 4.0% cash increase in funding.
Forces are operationally independent, and the deployment of officers and staff remains an operational decision for Chief Constables.
