Fly tipping has been a massive problem in St James for a number of years, so it's no surprise to see Greenwood Rd coming third in this list. The truth is people have given up reporting this and other hotspots in the area. The council and it's partner have lost control of it. Staff cut backs within the oddly named Environmental Wardens has contributed to a a lack of enforcement. Wardens now cover many areas in stead of covering just one or two. The increase in HiMO property is a severe pressure also. Rented accommodation where there is a transient tenancy due to rogue landlords also contributes to fly tipping. Frankly it is disgusting and a disgrace. A complete failure by the administration to get to grips with it and tackle the root causes over many years. Austerity measures (cutbacks) and worshipping at the alter of free market economics are just two causes.
From above "The force is due to publish the results of a review into how Adderley passed vetting...".
In the NNJ article on 27/6/24, it says that this review was being conducted by the Commissior's office (not by the force itself), under the auspices of the new Commissioner, and that it was anticipated to be put into the public domain "next month" (i.e. by the end of July). This clearly hasn't happened. Further, it is not an unreasonable suspicion that the reason for this is, perhaps, a willingness on the part of the new Commissioner to protect the reputations of individuals within her staff, several of whom have, of course, carried over from working for the previous Commissioner. Perhaps now might be the time for pressure to be put on Ms Stone to look like a little more like the new broom that she claims to be, and, in the words of the late Duke of Edinburgh, "pull her finger out"?
There is a West Northamptonshire Council consultation ongoing about the impact of 'himos' housing in multiple occupation. A lot of evidence suggests that this kind of property is the source of fly tipping when the tenants change over.
I would encourage everyone to take part in this and press for change.
