Harrow Council is grappling with a £348,000 cost to clear substantial illegal waste from a council-owned plot in Wealdstone South, intended for 149 new homes. The land, previously used for parking special needs minibuses until 2023, has attracted fly-tippers. The situation has sparked heated debates among councillors, with accusations directed at the Conservative administration for inadequate site security. Opposition members cite this failure as a burden on taxpayers, especially as tax increases loom. The council's leaders are divided over responsibilities for maintaining the site and addressing the illegal dumping problem.
The first 348,000 raised will, in the coming weeks, go towards clearing an absolute dump of a site at the old driving school where tonnes and tonnes of waste has been fly-tipped.
There has been a criminal fly-tip on that site. To be clear, the people doing the fly-tip were industrial in the scale that they did it.
