London continues to have the highest rate of fly-tipping in
England, with 53 incidents per 1,000 people each year, more than
double that of any other region.[1]
Tomorrow, the London Assembly Environment Committee will examine
whether current efforts to tackle fly-tipping and illegal dumping
are working, and whether the Government's new Waste Crime Action
Plan and region-led approach can help reverse the trend.
Assembly Members will question representatives from London
boroughs and the Greater London Authority on reporting processes,
enforcement, prevention measures, and the role of national plans
and wider co-ordination in reducing fly-tipping.
The final part of the meeting will be an opportunity for
Committee Members to ask the Deputy Mayor for Environment and
Energy questions about London's environmental progress.
