The streets in Hammersmith and Fulham continue to get dirtier. This fly-tip in Fulham Palace Road, opposite the junction with Doneraile Street was reported yesterday by Cllr Jane Law.

The Government has given councils more power to combat fly-tipping but since Labour took control of the Council in May enforcement has been allowed to slide. Serco Walkabouts with the Cabinet Member responsible have been scrapped.

I have asked for a report on street cleaning to be brought before the Council’s Community Safety, Environment and Residents’ Services Policy and Accountability Committee next month.
