Environment Enforcement Policy
Fly-tipping and other environmental crimes we see on our streets are horrible. It makes places look bad and encourages other people to make a mess. In some cases it can also lead to other types of antisocial behaviour.
Not only does antisocial behaviour blight our neighbourhoods, but they are a cost to us all as taxpayers. Last year the council spent over £1m clearing fly-tips.
Our Environment Enforcement Policy sets out our approach to tackling the issues. It aims to get people and businesses to comply with the law, so all of us can improve the look and feel of our borough.
The policy covers a range of areas that impact our streets and the environment, including:
Fly-tipping and other waste related offences
Abandoned or nuisance vehicles
Graffiti and fly-posting
Illegal street trading and other licensing offences
Noise and air pollution
Poor conditions in the private rented sector
Low level antisocial behaviour – for example, loud music
We are proposing a stepped approach to enforcement and this includes:
Providing information, advice and guidance
Verbal or written warnings
Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) and Community Protection Notice Warnings (CPNWs)
Formal notices
Formal cautions
Prosecution
Enforcement will be proportionate, fair and effective and each case will be decided on its own merits.
We will consider:
The seriousness of the issues
Any past or current compliance issues with the individual or business involved
Any risks present
The legal position
The priorities of the council and the Executive Mayor’s Business Plan
We know that most individuals and businesses wish to comply with the law and our role is to provide information, advice and support that will help them do that. We also know that stepped enforcement works, and that it has longer term positive impacts compared to immediate penalties.
Through our short survey, we would like to hear your views on our Environment Enforcement Policy – how we can use a stepped enforcement approach to change behaviours and stop these antisocial issues from happening.
The survey - link below - will be open for six weeks, from 2 July to 13 August 2025.
Feedback will help us as we finalise our approach to environmental enforcement across the borough.
