Epping Forest’s Enforcement Team joined forces with the Metropolitan Police and the Environment Agency on Wanstead Flats earlier this month to conduct an operation aimed at suppressing fly-tipping.

“A total of 73 vehicles were stopped, which led to four being seized for no insurance, four drivers reported for failing to have a valid waste licence and four environmental warnings issued for missing lower-tier waste carrier licences… Fly-tipping is an environmental crime, and we will not tolerate it,” said a spokesperson.
