Increase penalties against fly tippers and fund additional enforcement capacity

Fly tipping is a growing problem that blights communities across the country, costing around £100m a year to clean up and increasingly the focus of organised criminal gangs. Enforcement and effective penalties are key to tackling this nationwide problem and needs to be much tougher. There also needs to be multi-agency national strategy in place and that bodies such as the Police, Local Authorities and Environment Agency are given sufficient resources to tackle the problem effectively.
