Sold out event
Fly-tipping remains a significant problem for communities across England, blighting local environments, creating costly clean-up operations and placing additional pressure on local authorities. Rural and parish areas can be particularly affected, with dumped waste damaging public spaces, roadsides and the wider countryside.
While waste authorities have an important role in preventing and tackling fly-tipping, parish and town councils can also make a valuable contribution. Through local knowledge, effective partnerships and action within their communities, councils can help prevent offending, support enforcement and improve the local environment. But what works, which organisations should councils work with and what practical tools are available to help tackle the problem?
This event will explore how parish and town councils can work alongside waste authorities and other agencies to combat fly-tipping. You'll hear about the potential for offender-led clean-up schemes, including the costs, possible savings and organisations best placed to supervise this work. You'll also learn from councils that have taken effective action in their areas, sharing examples of successful partnerships and approaches to tackling fly-tipping.
Whether you're looking to improve your parish or town council's response to fly-tipping or develop stronger relationships with the organisations responsible for enforcement and waste management, you'll leave with practical advice and ideas to help make a difference in your community.
