April Redbridge Wall of Shame: Help us find the grime crime offenders making a mess in our borough

Redbridge is one of the most biodiverse and greenest boroughs in London, with award winning parks and open spaces, and we want to keep it that way.

We are working closely with local communities to send a strong message to fly-tippers that we won’t tolerate their mess on our streets, and are continuing our crackdown on grime crime with the release of the April edition of Redbridge Wall of Shame.

CCTV footage released for April’s Wall of Shame shows 4 clips of people fly-tipping. In the footage the offenders can be seen dumping a pram containing piles of rubbish, as well as packaging, and shopping bags filled with unwanted items. Some are also seen leaving black bin bags filled with waste, by public street bins, which is also fly-tipping.

Four images of fly-tips discovered around the borough are also featured, with one image showing more than ten bags of waste in one location alone.

Local people are being asked to come forward if they have any information relating to the offenders in the footage, the fly-tip images featured, or if they have witnessed the incidents taking place.

If you can help identify any of the culprits or have information relating to the fly-tips that could help track down the offenders, please contact Redbridge Council on: Cleansing.Services@redbridge.gov.uk

Community support for tougher action against fly-tippers has also triggered steeper penalties for those caught making a mess in Redbridge.

Anyone caught dumping their rubbish in the borough now faces a £1000 on the spot fine for fly-tipping.

The hard-hitting fine was introduced recently following a change to legislation, and in response to community feedback, including a boroughwide survey which revealed that clean and tidy neighbourhoods, and tougher action for fly-tipping were among the top priorities for local people.

Redbridge Council’s Neighbourhood Enforcement Manager, Sarah Louise Kaye, said: “Redbridge is our home and we all deserve to live in a clean and safe environment. The Wall of Shame gives local people the power to fight back against fly-tipping and sends a clear message that we are working together as one community to identify and hold to account those responsible for making a mess in our borough.”

If you spot a fly-tip in the borough you can easily report it online through the council’s Report It page:  https://www.redbridge.gov.uk/report-it/

All fly tips made known to the council are recorded and investigated, with enforcement action being taken if evidence is found. The council aims to clear all recorded fly-tips on council land and the highway within 24 hours of it being reported.
