APCOA
Hounslow Council is reviewing its fly-tipping enforcement and the performance of its APCOA contract, while Redbridge Council plans to tender its enforcement service.
Hounslow Council has been reviewing its fly-tipping enforcement, with its Overview and Scrutiny Committee having examined the performance of the APCOA contract in September 2026. In September 2026, councillors debated a motion to review the enforcement policy, which included £1,000 Fixed Penalty Notices, following a July 2026 debate where a motion highlighted the ineffectiveness of these notices.
Redbridge Council is considering tendering its Civil Enforcement Service contract, currently managed by APCOA, alongside a new vehicle removal service. This proposal was discussed by the Clean and Green Policy Development Committee in November 2025. Separately, APCOA was admitted to the Barnet Pension Fund, with new admission agreements approved by the Pension Fund Committee in January 2026.
