The article highlights the ongoing problem of fly-tipping in Croydon, particularly on Dunsfold Way, where residents witness frequent illegal dumping of waste. Despite the council's efforts, including increased penalties and introducing enforcement officers, the situation has not improved. Many garages in the area are not only filled with rubbish but also left unsecure, causing safety concerns for local children. Councillor Rowenna Davis emphasizes the need for better land use and accountability from local leadership.
