Focus

Fly tipping and litter spoil our countryside and affect everyone – they damage the rural character that makes our area special and make our communities feel less cared for. We’re working with residents to report incidents and supporting Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council to help keep our communities clean and our countryside cared for.

What’s next

  • Working with residents to report fly tipping and litter
  • Supporting the council on enforcement and prevention
  • Identifying problem areas that need attention

How to get involved

  • Report fly tipping and litter when you see it
  • Share the exact location (what3words is helpful) and photos if safe to take
  • Tell us about problem areas that keep getting dumped on

Trenchards Lane fly tipping cleared by community

Trenchards Lane was blocked yesterday evening by bricks that had been dumped – fly tipping that made the lane completely impassable.

Thank you to members of the community who helped clear the road so it’s now passable. The debris is still on the sides of the road, so take care if you’re using that route.

Police were called and arrived as we were finishing clearing the lane. Highways are aware. I’ll follow up with Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council and Hampshire County Council on Monday to make sure the remaining debris is cleared.
