Consultation on powers for local authorities to issue conditional cautions to fly-tipping offenders

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

We would also like your views on any unintended or environmental consequences, and whether alternative measures would be more effective at deterring fly-tipping.

We have also published this consultation in Welsh.
