Harrow Council has approved a new housing development of 149 homes on the site of the former driving school in Wealdstone South, which had become a notorious fly-tipping hotspot. Recent efforts by Goody Demolition and Powerday cleared around 650 tonnes of waste from the area, which had been plagued by criminal activity and safety issues. The opposition criticized the administration for failing to secure the site, costing approximately £348,000. As fly-tipping rates continue to rise nationally, this project aims to alleviate ongoing environmental concerns.
We're proud to be a part of this significant operation, helping to tackle one of the city's most challenging fly-tipping sites. Our team worked closely with Goody Demolition and local authorities to ensure that waste was safely collected and transported to our recycling facilities, minimising the environmental impact.
The site was targeted by a criminal operation who threatened staff with violence and damaged security measures to dump the rubbish illegally.
The Labour opposition accused the administration of not securing the site over the past 18 months, resulting in costs in the region of 348,000.
Fly-tipping has long been a growing issue in London, with a 6 percent increase from 2023 to 2024.... reaching 1.15 million tonnes nationally.
