Crackdown on flytipping

Like most urban areas, Golborne Ward has a fly-tipping problem. In 2024, across the whole borough, Kensington and Chelsea Council's street enforcement team responded to 22,235 service requests, issuing 2,157 fixed penalty notices. And now the council is planning a crackdown on illegal dumping.

Nine new officers from Kingdom Local Authority Support will be joining an existing team of 28 Council street enforcement officers. The new officers will help tackle on the spot offences like littering, graffiti and fly-posting, freeing up more of the Council team to work on more complex cases like fly-tipping investigations.

And fines for fly tipping will increase across the borough from £400 to £1,000 while fines for littering, fly-posting and graffiti will increase from £150 to £300.
