Liverpool City Council's backing a new approach to environmental enforcement in
00:04
a bid to clamp down on antisocial behavior including environmental crime
00:07
the local authorities set to create a new task force to clean up our streets
00:11
and external companies to be brought on board to potentially dish out fines for
00:15
those caught offending the most flagrant offenders could face being slapped with
00:19
a thousand pound penalty. Between May 2023 and 2024 more than 4,000 requests
00:25
were made to Liverpool Council for street cleaning with 17,000 inquiries
00:28
related to fly-tipping. Amongst them were 3,000 reports of bin bags, 1,200 fridge
00:33
freezers and 539 shopping trolleys. The new external contractor will supplement
00:38
the enforcement task force to increase its effectiveness in working right
00:42
across the city. Liverpool's current litter penalty notice is set at the
00:46
statutory minimum of £80. Changes by government mean the maximum amount those
00:50
caught fly-tipping could be fined has increased from £400 to £1,000 while the
00:54
maximum amount those who litter or graffiti can be fined has risen from £150 to £500.
