Fly-tipping patrols are being increased across Merton

The council says illegal rubbish dumping has almost doubled from 9,000 recorded incidents in 2017 to almost 16,000 last year.

That’s an estimated cost of £900,000 to taxpayers over 4 years.  

Anyone caught dumping waste will be issued with a fixed penalty notice of up to £400 and could face prosecution.
