Local Priorities Fly tipping Update

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Fly tipping, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.

Often on my patrols I come across fly tipping both domestic and commercial. Only today I reported fly tipping in one of our local lanes, although fly tipping is for Dacorum Borough Council they can only do this with the help of us all.

I use the app FIX MY STREET this is a free app on Android that takes two minutes to report, this goes directly straight to the correct council department. The council are very quick at dealing with the issue and often within a couple of days. This app also allows people to report community issues such as pot holes, broken street light etc and it's free.

Together we can make a nicer community for us all to live and work in.

Here are five reasons why we should not litter:

• Impact on Wildlife: Litter can harm animals by trapping or poisoning them, and it can also kill aquatic life through choking and water quality degradation.
• Costs of Cleaning Up: Littering incurs significant cleanup costs, which can burden local governments and taxpayers.
• Human Health and Safety: Litter can pose health risks, creating hazards in public spaces and potentially leading to injuries.
• Environmental Contamination: Litter can contaminate soil and water, leading to long-term environmental damage.
• Aesthetic Appeal: Litter detracts from the beauty of our surroundings, affecting community pride and tourism.

By reducing littering, we can protect wildlife, save money, enhance public health, and preserve our environment.
