Tackling rubbish dumping and fly-tipping in Fitzrovia

We spoke with local community activist and West End Council candidate Julie Redmond about waste collection in Fitzrovia.

I'm in Fitzrovia today, one of the areas of hotspots for rubbish dumping and fly-tipping.

This is a problem in this particular area and all over the West End.

The Conservative-led council collects rubbish one to three times daily and twice weekly for recycling, whereas in Labour-led boroughs it's once every two weeks.

We do know there are issues and therefore we are looking at ways to resolve these by perhaps putting CCTV in these particular hotspots.

Help hold Westminster's Labour Council to account

At Full Council meetings, members of the public have a unique opportunity to directly question the Labour administration on issues that matter most to you. We've observed a concerning trend: a tendency to fill these vital public slots with pre-arranged, 'easy' questions. This silences the genuine concerns of our community. That's why we need your help to ensure real issues are heard.
