Fly tipping on Putney Park Lane

Disgusting mess dumped on PPL.  Just cycled up there and was very pleased to see the council has already cleared it.  Efficient work!

Apart from the total lack of consideration, the lane is an access route for emergency services and those piles made it impassable. We live between the lane and Dover Park Drive and I was delighted that some flytipping I reported last year resulted in a prosecution. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled now!

All fly-tipping should be investigated with a view to prosecution.  To not do so is asking for more - fly-tipping encourages more fly-tipping and residents need to reduce and manage their own waste.  You can often share trips and bins and bags with neighbours if you just ask.

The cavalry may be coming:-Apparently some refuse tips have opened elsewhere. The WRWA site has this:-"Updated: 2nd May 2020CLOSURE OF HOUSEHOLD WASTE AND RECYCLING CENTRES (HWRCS)The Household Waste and Recycling Centres (HWRCs) at Smugglers Way and Cringle Dock remain closed but we are making plans to reopen and, once a date has been agreed, it will be advertised on www.wrwa.gov.uk"
