When reporting fly-tipping in Southend, the most helpful evidence includes witnessing the act and providing a Witness Statement. Additionally, if you can safely take photographs of the vehicle and person involved, including the vehicle's number plate, that can be very useful for enforcement action.
Here’s a summary of the key evidence items that are helpful:
| Evidence Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Witness Statement | A detailed statement if you witnessed the act. |
| Photographic Evidence | Photos of the person and vehicle (including number plate) involved in fly-tipping. |
Without evidence or a Witness Statement, it may not be possible for the council to take enforcement action. If you have evidence, you can report the fly-tipping through the council’s online form here.
