DUMPING SITE – MUSWELL HILL AND FORTIS GREEN COUNCILLORS CALL FOR ACTION

Lib Dem councillors are calling for CCTV cameras to help tackle a dumping problem at a Fortis Green depot. Muswell Hill councillor Lynne Featherstone, and Fortis Green’s Matt Davies say that there is a severe dumping problem at the Lynx Depot site near Coppetts Wood, and that the Council has been asked several times to help tackle the problem.

Ms Featherstone says that Haringey has even approached Lynx about installing CCTV at the site and for the installation of more secure fencing, but this has been so far resisted on grounds of cost.

Lynne Featherstone comments:

“Dumping hot spots like this need to be tackled, and the Council must ensure that it works closely with the staff at Lynx Depot to see that the situation improves. I have been receiving complaints about this problem for months now.”

Cllr Matt Davies, Fortis Green Ward, comments:

“Lynx and the Council must look more closely at installing CCTV at the site, and catch the dumpers red handed. Action has got to be taken to stop dumping in the area, as one item successfully dumped only encourages more dumping.”
