Number of fly tipping enforcement actions (3414) Metric type
- Help text
- This metric records the total number of fly-tipping enforcement actions recorded by a local authority in the reporting period. Enforcement actions range from investigation of incidents to warning letters, statutory notices and fines.
Local authorities and the Environment Agency both have a responsibility in respect of illegally deposited waste (fly tipping). Local Authorities have a duty to clear fly-tipping from public land in their areas and consequently they deal with most cases of fly-tipping on public land, investigating these and carrying out a range of enforcement actions.
Responsibility for dealing with fly-tipping on private land rests with private landowners and is not subject to mandatory data reporting.
In assessing the figures Local Authorities should not be classified as ‘good’ or ‘poor’ performers based purely on numbers of fly-tips. The position is complex and population density, housing stock and commuter routes can all have an impact.
