Cllr Richard Diment expressed that keeping Bexley clean and green is a top priority, emphasizing the council's zero tolerance for littering and commitment to making Bexley safer and more attractive.

We are determined to put an end to dumping. Keeping our streets clean is a shared responsibility and everyone must do their part.

"As we look to the summer months, it’s evident that certain perennial issues resurface, particularly relating to drinking and littering in public spaces. This reoccurrence brings a wave of outrage, yet mere outrage fails to bring about real solutions on our streets."

Mark Taggart and other offenders were fined under the Environmental Protection Act for littering incidents, totaling 5,427 in fines and costs.

In urban environments, the adherence to social and civic rules is essential for communal harmony, yet many show a shocking disregard for basic sanitation practices.

"It's baffling why some dog owners feel the need to pick up their pet's waste but then discard the filled bag into the bushes. They seem to think they've absolved their responsibility, but in reality, they only swap one problem for another."
