Increase in Fly-Tipping

Please could you disseminate via your socials to the residents?

We have seen a worrying increase in the number of fly tipping events in the rural areas. If you live or work in the villages you may well have noticed the deposits on the lanes and tracks. We believe that some of these are linked to the breaking down of cannabis grows and so we are very interested in the details of any suspicious vehicles/vans during the early hours of the morning.

We are working together with Thanet District Council to identify and clear these deposits.

If you find some fly tipped material, please use the TDC Fly Tipping form via their web site to log the instance. If you have any information regarding the persons tipping, please email PC Andy Howe [email protected].

Please do not place yourselves at risk by challenging the persons tipping, if it is in progress, get to a safe place, call 999 and report it to Kent Police as soon as you can, and if you can provide a vehicle registration, we would be especially grateful.

Kent Police will be conducting additional early patrols in these areas.

Many thanks,
