Haringey Council is set to investigate the growing problem of fly-tipping in Queen's Wood, following concerns raised at a Full Council meeting on Monday, 21 July 2025.
Councillor Nick da Costa questioned Councillor Seema Chandwani, Cabinet Member for Resident Services & Tackling Inequality, about the increasing number of incidents in the area. This query, documented in the second supplementary motions and questions document, specifically addressed whether the council would take enforcement action and commit to bringing in CCTV to combat the issue.
Councillor da Costa highlighted that there have been more than 20 large-scale incidents in the past year,
with perpetrators now causing ecological damage by dumping waste directly in the woodland.
The council will consider taking proper, sustained enforcement action to catch the perpetrators, and commit to bringing in CCTV.
The motion aims to address the ecological damage and deter future incidents of illegal waste disposal in the area.
The meeting, which covered a range of topics from recognising the Latin American community in Haringey to expressing no confidence in Thames Water, underscored the council's commitment to addressing local environmental concerns.
