"Ealing Council will invest 510,000 to fund the introduction of "tidy teams" to crack down on fly-tipping. It also said it planned to deploy 50 remote CCTV cameras to tackle antisocial behaviour across its seven towns, which it said would cost 860,000. Alongside tidy teams the council will allocate 540,000 to piloting a new household recycling service. This will include a timetable of touring "mega skips" in a bid to minimise waste going to landfill."
"Mr Mason added: "We are investing in keeping streets clean, tackling antisocial behaviour and giving young people things to do." Supporting the new CCTV camera network will be a uniformed street enforcement team which will work "as an active and visible deterrent to crime and antisocial behaviour", according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service. Philip James Lynch Plans are under way to invest 200,000 in street-lighting enhancements to improve resident safety."
