A new study has revealed that the South West region had the fewest reports of fly-tipping incidents in England last year. According to the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), a total of 49,883 fly-tipping incidents were recorded across the region between 2021 and 2022, which was down from 55,162 in the previous year.
In comparison, London had the most fly-tipping incidents with 405,849 recorded. Second on the list was the North West with 128,426, while the South East had 102,916.
Following the release of the figures, rural insurance specialist Lycetts is calling on landowners to double down on their efforts to keep environmental criminals at bay. As well as posing significant and environmental health risks, fly-tipping can be a legal and financial burden as some will already know.
