In response to alarming levels of fly-tipping, over half of London's councils are raising fines from £400 to £1,000. Seventeen boroughs have confirmed this increase as part of an effort to deter littering in the capital, which recorded the highest incidents of fly-tipping in England for 2023/24. The issue affects various boroughs differently, with Croydon having the highest number of incidents. Councils aim to enhance street patrols to discourage offenders and maintain community cleanliness, benefiting law-abiding residents.
"It makes our borough look unsightly, the fly-tips are potentially hazardous, and otherwise it is the law-abiding residents that must pay to clean it up."
"London saw the single largest number of fly-tipping incidents' of any English region in 2023/24, with 444,519 recorded in the Greater London area."
