We work hard to keep our streets clean and safe, but sometimes we need to remind everyone of their responsibilities by taking enforcement action.
Our Place Protection Officers are responsible for tackling environmental crime and making sure that Rushmoor stays safe and clean.
Our team responds to complaints made by our residents, local organisations, councillors, and visitors. We also carry out environmental audits.
We have a range of powers that allow us to enforce legislation, which can involve issuing warnings, notices, fixed penalty notices and even court proceedings against alleged offenders.
We can take action on:
- Abandoned and untaxed vehicles
- Commercial waste
- Domestic waste
- Dog fouling
- Fly-posting
- Fly-tipping
- Graffiti
- Littering
Fixed penalty notices
Offences for which you may receive a fixed penalty notice include:
- Minor graffiti and fly-posting offences
- Fly-tipping
- Dropping litter in a public space
- Abandoning a vehicle
- Nuisance parking
- Failure to produce authority for transporting waste (waste transfer note)
- Failure to provide documentation (waste carrier's licence)
- Offences relating to rubbish bins
- Smoking in a smoke-free place
We refer to our Corporate Enforcement Policy and Environmental Improvement Strategy when considering enforcement action.
