But wait, what about other local authorities?
Kilburn has the unenviable status of being at the intersection of the 3 Local Authorities with the highest number of reported fly-tipping incidents in England.
Local Authority | number of fly tipping incidents 2022/23 |
Brent Council | 34830 |
Camden Council | 31457 |
Westminster Council | 30737 |
Total 3 boroughs covering Kilburn | 97024 |
Total London | 422078 |
Enforcement following fly tipping incidents is rather poor in the 3 Councils. None of them are topping the national league table.
Local Authority | number of Fixed penalty notices 22/23 | number of prosecutions 22/23 |
Brent Council | 2220 (6.4% of reports) | 33 |
Camden Council | 462 (1.5% of reports) | 0 |
Westminster Council | 2694 (8.8% of reports) | 3 |
Total 3 boroughs covering Kilburn | 5376 (5.5% of reports) | 36 |
Total London | 44106 (10.4% of reports) | 135 |
So no wonder fly tipping is impacting on our neighbourhood so much. It seems that fly tippers are very rarely fined!
