ENVIRONMENTAL ENFORCEMENT UPDATE
From: Cabinet - Wednesday, 3rd December, 2025 6.30 pm - December 03, 2025
This report provides an update on Croydon Council’s strengthened approach to environmental and regulatory enforcement, directly supporting the Executive Mayor’s Business Plan 2022–2026 priority to make Croydon a cleaner, safer and healthier borough. The report highlights measurable progress since the refocused enforcement was introduced. In 2021 the decision was taken to discontinue the Neighbourhood Safety Team. This service had previously provided a visible on-street presence and supported a broad range of community compliance and environmental enforcement activity. The reduction in frontline capacity affected the Council’s ability to proactively deter and respond to environmental crime. In light of these impacts, and the increasing concern about fly tipping, a new, fit-for-purpose team is being established with a more targeted focus on environmental crime, underpinned by a clear zero-tolerance approach. Since the new Community Compliance Team started in September they have issued over 100 Fixed Penalty Notices for waste-related offences (paragraph 5.8), with early indicators showing a reduction in reported fly-tipping in hotspot areas. The Council has also secured several prosecutions including a £7,951 court fine and costs order against a persistent offender. Broader data demonstrates enforcement outcomes across multiple environmental disciplines (Appendix A in the full report).
