Commercial waste
Councils are intensifying environmental enforcement, including commercial waste inspections, and addressing cleanliness concerns on Uxbridge Road.
Croydon Council is intensifying environmental enforcement, including commercial waste inspections, to address waste generated by businesses. A report to the council's Cabinet in January 2026 detailed the rebuilding of enforcement capability, with a new Community Compliance Team issuing over 100 Fixed Penalty Notices for fly-tipping since September 2025. These efforts have led to increased fines and a reduction in complaints in district centres.
Hammersmith and Fulham Council is also addressing cleanliness concerns on Uxbridge Road, where commercial waste collection is an issue. Following a residents' petition, the Full Council resolved in October 2025 to revamp the area, which is home to shops, restaurants, and a market. Measures to revitalise the street were outlined by Councillor Florian Chevoppe-Verdier, Cabinet Member for Public Realm.
