Love Clean Streets app

6 stories · 2 councils

Croydon Council is exploring AI integration for the Love Clean Streets app while strengthening environmental crime enforcement.

Croydon Council is intensifying its efforts to combat environmental crime, including fly-tipping, unmanaged waste, and littering, which residents can report via the Love Clean Streets app. In March 2026, the Scrutiny Streets & Environment Sub-Committee discussed bolstering the 'dump busters' initiative and expanding CCTV surveillance. This follows Croydon Council's decision in July 2025 to increase fly-tipping fines to £1,000.

The council is also exploring artificial intelligence (AI) integration to enhance the efficiency of the Love Clean Streets app itself. This recommendation came from the Scrutiny & Overview Committee in November 2025, as part of a wider discussion on waste and street cleansing. Croydon Council's Cabinet was scheduled to review scrutiny recommendations, including those on waste, in November 2025.

The Love Clean Streets app is a mobile application used by Croydon Council for residents to report environmental issues such as fly-tipping and litter. Fly-tipping has been identified as a significant issue in areas like Bench Manor, Thornton Heath, West Thornton, and Norbury, according to a March 2026 report. The council aims to use technology and targeted action to restore pride in public spaces.
