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.
