<p>We appreciate the difficulty that fly-tipping poses to landowners. We are working
with stakeholders, such as the National Farmers Union and local authorities, through
the National Fly-Tipping Prevention Group to share good practice, including how to
prevent fly-tipping on private land.</p><p /><p>As part of the government’s commitment
to unleash rural opportunity, we are currently funding a post within the new National
Rural Crime Unit to explore how the police’s role in tacking fly-tipping can be optimised,
with a focus on rural areas.</p><p /><p>Across two rounds of our fly-tipping grant
scheme, we have awarded nearly £1.2m to help more than 30 councils tackle fly-tipping
at known hot-spots, including in rural areas, such as by installing CCTV. Round three
is currently in progress and should see a further £1 million handed out in the spring
to help even more councils tackle fly-tipping.</p>
