Community Compliance Team
Croydon Council's Community Compliance Team, focused on environmental enforcement, has issued over 100 fly-tipping fines since starting operations in September 2025.
Croydon Council's Community Compliance Team, a dedicated environmental enforcement unit, has issued over 100 Fixed Penalty Notices for fly-tipping since beginning operations in September 2025. A report to the council's Cabinet in January 2026 highlighted the team's role in rebuilding enforcement capability, noting increased fines, commercial waste inspections, and a reduction in complaints in district centres.
This team forms part of Croydon Council's intensified environmental enforcement efforts, which saw fly-tipping fines increase to £1,000 following a council decision in July 2025. Addressing fly-tipping is a key Mayoral Priority, with the council stepping up enforcement through better tools, smarter technology, and targeted action to restore pride in public spaces.
