Defra publishes local authority fly tipping enforcement league tables
Defra (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) has published league tables ranking local authorities in England on fly tipping enforcement.
The league tables are based on data from the 2021/22 financial year and show which local authorities issued the most fixed penalty notices (FPNs) and the ratio between incidents reported and FPNS issued.
Defra cautions that the enforcement data shouldn’t be used in isolation as a measurement of performance as local authorities take a variety of approaches to tackling fly tipping based on their local priorities.
