I have never refused to give figures. That's a straightforward untruth.
I don't have them at my fingertips because it's not a huge priority for me and because they have to be collated from several different sources.
If Steve cares to send me an email (via my Hounslow address or a PM from here) I will dig out the answers.
Why are they not a huge priority? I went out together with about half a dozen officers from H Highways, Recycle360, Enforcement etc last Monday morning 7am to Kingsley Road in Hounslow, a notorious hotspot.
Between us, we searched a total of 291 dumped bags  to obtain evidence from the fly tipped waste. The evidence gathered has resulted in 3 duty of care investigations (for shop premises who have a duty of care to dispose of waste via an approved waste contractor, not dump it on the street) and 8 Fixed Penalty Notices being issued, all I think for £80. I was out for about 2.5 hours and the officers for about 4 and I can assure you we went right through all those bags, gloves and masks on, looking for evidence. So it has to be done and it is done, but it has no chance of solving the problem. Even if the fines deter, you don't have to be a genius to remove the addresses next time. And after all that effort there were still well over 200 bags where we could not deter (other than by making a prominent intervention and leaving crime tapes around and about, which might deter the timid).
Most people don't flytip because of a perverse desire to foul the street. They do it because it is their most convenient way of disposing waste. In some cases this is because they can't be bothered to recycle, or don't manage their bins. In other cases it's because their residence has no facilities or they haven't been told what to do by uninterested landlords.
Our focus over the coming months will be mainly to address these problems to take away some of the temptation to flytip. We'll also be engaging members of the public to assist in their neighbourhoods (announcement soon) and - yes - reinforcing environmental enforcement via a dedicated team and by using Hounslow's improved network of CCTV which is rolling out currently.
