4. What are the main locations or hotspots for fly-tipping in the council area?
We do not record hot spot areas for fly tipping
5. How many incidents were reported on
- Public
- Private
- and what proportion of incidents were cleared by the authority?
Due to the way the data is recorded we are unable to confirm all the incidents that are either Wokingham Borough Councils responsibility or private. I have created a third option which I have titled ‘land type not confirmed’. The reports I have titled ‘land type not confirmed’ would include reports which had been closed - a few examples are additional information is needed, duplicate reports, fly tip has already been collected.
It is worth noting that fly tips reports can be reported via different methods (e.g. telephone, email) and due to this not all fly tips are recorded on the WBC online reporting system.
