Fly-tipping: Public Bodies
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of a single responsible body to receive and investigate incidents of fly-tipping.
Answered by Mary Creagh
Individuals can already report illegal waste activity anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online.
Local authorities are often best placed to tackle local issues such as fly-tipping, and so any single national reporting route would need to pass reports on to the relevant local authority. Incidents can already be reported to the relevant local authority online. Individuals can get help on identifying the relevant local authority webpage at: https://www.gov.uk/report-flytipping.
