Redbridge Council scheme cracks down on fly-tipping hotspots

Redbridge Council has revealed on average one fly-tipper has been caught and fined £400 every month since it launched an initiative to crack down on the problem earlier this year. 

The Redbridge Wall of Shame shares footage of people dumping rubbish in the borough online so that local residents can help identify them. 

The council claims it has had a positive impact on fly-tipping hotspots in Ilford. Dudley Road and Ley Street regularly featured in the earlier editions of the Wall of Shame but have more recently seen a reduction in their appearances.

In the latest September edition, three people can be seen shamelessly leaving a sofa on the street. Other people were captured on camera dumping bags of rubbish and parts from a child’s play equipment. 

Redbridge Cabinet Member for Environment and Civic Pride, Cllr Jo Blackman, said: “Fly-tipping is a blight on our borough and we are doing all we can as a council to crack down on offenders and make our streets cleaner and greener.

“Our Redbridge Wall of Shame is resulting in tip-offs from the community, and empowering local people to help in the fight against fly-tipping and catch those responsible for making our streets messy. By working together as one community we can make it harder for fly-tippers to dump their rubbish in Redbridge, or think they can get away with it.”

The latest edition of the Wall of Shame can be watched online here. If you can help identify anyone in it, please email Cleansing.Services@redbridge.gov.uk

Anyone who is caught fly-tipping in the borough will face a £400 fixed penalty notice.
