	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2019 answer text <p>Local authorities have a wide range of enforcement powers to tackle fly-tipping and we have recently strengthened these. In 2016 we gave local authorities the power to issue fixed penalty notices for small scale fly-tipping and enhanced local authorities’ ability to search and seize the vehicles of suspected fly-tippers. In January this year, we introduced further financial penalties to crack down on fly-tipping giving local authorities the power to issue penalties of up to £400 to householders who fail to pass their waste to a licensed carrier and whose waste is then found fly-tipped. We will also support local authorities in increasing householders’ awareness of their duty of care to ensure their waste is disposed of appropriately.</p><p> </p><p>In our Resources and Waste Strategy for England, we have <del class="ministerial">included</del> <ins class="ministerial">committed to develop a</ins> fly-tipping toolkit which will cover how local authorities can set up and run an effective fly-tipping partnership and how to present robust cases to court to ensure tougher penalties. The Strategy also sets out how we will work with the court system to further strengthen the sentences of fly-tippers to ensure they act as a suitable deterrent.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 23/05/2019 10:11:06 question first ministerially corrected 23/05/2019 14:43:41 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey previous answer version 119671 answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
