Environmental enforcement means issuing penalties for environmental crimes. These penalties are called Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs).

Since the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005 became law, measures have been introduced enabling local authorities to issue FPNs to anyone committing an environmental crime that damages the local environment.

Littering – General Waste

Litter is everything from food packaging to cigarette butts and chewing gum. It can also include feeding birds, spitting and urinating.

Fly-posting

Displaying advertising material on buildings and street furniture without the consent of the owner.

Fly-tipping

The illegal dumping of waste. It can vary in scale significantly, from a bin bag of rubbish to larger bulky waste items dumped, such as mattresses or white goods.

Duty of Care (Business Waste)

Businesses have a duty of care to ensure their waste is removed by a licensed waste carrier. If we suspect a business is not dealing with its waste correctly, we can issue a notice requiring the production of waste transfer documents. Failure to produce the documents results in the issue of a fine.
