The IRC has sent the attached Letter to the CEO of Peterborough City Council to underline the importance of including the issues in waste management.

The IRC has received numerous reports and findings regarding ongoing issues of fly- tipping and heavy littering in North Ward and East Ward. These problems occur daily and are accompanied by anti-social behaviour, drug abuse, and frequent encampments in some locations. Local volunteer groups have been collecting thousands of bags of litter and various loose fly-tipped items, including bedding, bicycles, and clothing. These conditions pose a serious public health risk.

If a solution is not implemented, these issues will continue to drain valuable resources from the council and unnecessarily increase costs for taxpayers.

Therefore, the IRC is urging the council to take decisive action to prevent further deterioration of these areas. We aim to restore the locations identified in section 3 of this IRC Bulletin, making them safer and significantly reducing the financial burden on council taxpayers.

A statement by PCC that is considered a directive to spend taxpayers' money from the central government on helping catch offenders, Fly-Tipping and Littering across Peterborough.

At the recent council-held Debris Workshop meeting on 7th April 2025, IRC raised the proposal of reintroducing a monthly collection service for unwanted household goods, much the same service as the weekly domestic bin collections. This would reduce the growing problem of fly-tipping across Peterborough.

This Letter was created to track the progress by the council to work with the landowner to repair the broken fence.

Now that the IRC is known to the Council and having a great amount of data and information that is based on the public interest in reducing the amount of litter and fly-tipping it is important to structure communications.

The wix platform provides a great method to file the data we produce not only to communicate with the Council but also the public.

With that in mind feel free to add you comments against each Letter , Bulletin or Directive group.
