Council Hunts for Fly-tippers Who Dumped Mattress in Arminger Road
Followed by man who covered mattress in graffiti hours later
H&F Council is appearing to residents to help find two fly-tippers caught on CCTV dumping a mattress in Shepherd's Bush in broad daylight, and another man who covered it with graffiti hours later.
CCTV footage from November revealed the mattress being dumped in Arminger Road, off Uxbridge Road and just hours later, being sprayed with graffiti by a passer-by.
The council is now trying to find those responsible so it can take action and says that If you recognise anyone in the photos, please email streetczar@lbhf.gov.uk.
You can also get a further look at those involved in this gallery of CCTV footage of fly-tippers.
The council says it has introduced new larger fines and more CCTV cameras as it steps up its efforts to combat incidents of fly-tipping.
"We want to be the greenest borough in Britain, so will do all we can to stop people dumping rubbish in our streets," says Cllr Wesley Harcourt, H&F Cabinet Member for Environment.
" That’s why we’re taking firmer action on fly-tipping and street mess, including issuing more and bigger fines.
" Catching this double act of vandalism on film should serve as a warning to anyone thinking they can use our streets as a dump. Not only is it unsightly for residents, it’s an extra cost for us to remove it, so ultimately comes out of their pockets, which is really unfair."
