Consultation on powers for local authorities to issue conditional cautions to fly-tipping offenders
We are proposing to give local authorities powers to issue conditional cautions, to help them tackle fly-tipping.
What is being proposed
We want to know what you think of introducing powers for local authorities to issue conditional cautions to fly-tipping offenders. These cautions are one of a range of pre-court community-based sanctions.
We want your views on how these cautions could be enforced, including whether to prosecute offenders who fail to comply or only partially comply.
We also want to know if you can share information on the likely:
impact on prosecutions implementation requirements costs and potential savings from offender-led clean-up work organisations best placed to supervise such activity
How to respond
The department has not published a response route on GOV.UK. It is usually inside the consultation document above.
