FLYTIPPING COST TO TAXPAYER D0UBLES T0 £350K A YEAR

Where is the CCTV we were promised?

Norwich City Council are still failing to act on fly-tipping despite long-

standing pressure from Green Party councillors to ramp up enforcement, as we see the annual cost of fly-tipping has doubled to nearly £350K. The Labour administration launched the “Love Norwich” campaign to crack down on this at a cost to the taxpayer of £100,000. Despite this, events planned for MX and promised CCTV have not materialised. Green councillors are asking where this money has gone instead.

Residents who live around communal bin areas regularly report trade waste being dumped at night soon after the bins are emptied, and it is about time this is put to an end.

Greens continue to put pressure on the council to scrap the charge to residents of collecting bulky items and to ramp up enforcement against those who persistently offend by installing CCTV cameras in fly-tipping hotspots across the city, not just in the 6-10 isolated spots planned.
