The council has received a share of nearly £1 million from Defra to combat fly-tipping, supporting us to take a significant step in addressing environmental issues. This funding will enable the council to implement more effective strategies for waste management and enforcement. Communities can enjoy cleaner environments and better public health outcomes by investing in initiatives to prevent and clean up fly-tipping.
The grant will support various schemes to take the fight against waste criminals – such as an increase in CCTV cameras in hotspot areas, AI-assisted camera technology, and campaigns to raise households’ awareness of their duty to only use licensed waste companies when getting rid of rubbish.
Leader of the Council, Cllr David Wright said, “ I am delighted with the recent funding allocation, North Warwickshire Borough Council is now in a much stronger position to tackle the frustrating and costly issue of fly-tipping.”
The council plans to implement a series of measures aimed at preventing and deterring illegal waste dumping in the area.
