<p>Through the National Fly-tipping Prevention Group, the Government has published
a series of fly-tipping prevention guides for householders, businesses and landowners
affected by fly-tipping. We have also published the Fly-tipping Partnership Framework,
which outlines best practice for the prevention, reporting, investigation and clearance
of fly-tipping to be adapted to suit local circumstances. These are available on the
National Fly-tipping Prevention Group website: <a href="http://www.tacklingflytipping.com"
target="_blank">www.tacklingflytipping.com</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Local authorities have
statutory duties concerning the removal of abandoned cars, as set out in the Refuse
Disposal (Amenity) Act 1978, and amended by the Clean Neighbourhoods & Environment
Act 2005. Local authorities also have enforcement powers to penalise individuals who
abandon vehicles or parts of vehicles, including issuing a Fixed Penalty Notice or
prosecution, and can recover certain costs from offenders.</p><p> </p><p>Guidance
is available on GOV.UK and can be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/abandoned-vehicles-council-responsibilities"
