The council's zero-tolerance stance on fly-tipping continues. Brand new, state of the art AI CCTV cameras are now watching key hotspot areas across Brent, including estates that are managed by the council.
These cutting-edge cameras activate the moment they detect suspicious movement and feed them directly to our enforcement team, who have tripled in size since 2024. The enforcement team has several new recruits in these CCTV cameras and they’re already proving their worth.
In just 24 hours, one camera caught three blatant waste offences; a dumped fish tank, cardboard thrown onto the pavement, and a man who chucked rubbish across a public footway instead of using a bin that he was walking towards.
This comes as Brent issues over 5,700 fines for waste offences this year — more than double last year’s total, reflecting the council’s strengthened enforcement under the Don’t Mess with Brent campaign.
