South Holland District Council is pleased to report a significant 13% decrease in fly-tipping incidents over the past 12 months, demonstrating the impact of increased enforcement and public awareness, in keeping our District clean.

 

The latest figures reveal that fly-tipping incidents fell from 2,732 cases in 2023 to 2,402 in 2024. Several areas have seen substantial reductions, including Crowland and Deeping St Nicholas (down by 51%), Pinchbeck and Surfleet (down by 33%), and Spalding St Mary’s (down by 25%). This success is a result of collaborative efforts between enforcement teams, volunteers and residents who actively report incidents.

 

The Kingdom enforcement team has played a crucial role in this decline by patrolling the district, raising awareness about responsible waste disposal, and issuing Fixed Penalty Notices to offenders. Additionally, the council’s communications campaign has helped educate residents on the consequences of fly-tipping and the proper ways to dispose of waste.

 

South Holland District Council extends a huge thank you to the local volunteers and residents who continue to report fly-tipping and support clean-up efforts.

 

Cllr Anthony Casson, Portfolio Holder for Public Protection at South Holland District Council, said: "This fantastic reduction in fly-tipping proves that our enforcement measures and public awareness campaigns are making a real difference. However, this success wouldn’t be possible without the commitment of our local residents and others who take pride in their communities. Thank you to everyone."

 

Despite this progress, the Council urges residents to remain vigilant and continue reporting any fly-tipping incidents through the official website at www.sholland.gov.uk/reportit
