Wandsworth councillor tracks down fly-tipper using address on box
A London councillor has made a fly-tipper remove his rubbish after tracking him down at his house using an address left on one of the boxes.
Wandsworth councillor Jo Rigby posted images of the rubbish on X, external saying she reported the person, who “left a box with his name and address on”.
She later posted an update saying: “I went to his house and he’s moving it.”
Speaking to BBC London, she said: “I believe it’s the role of councillors to do that sort of thing.”
Ms Rigby, a Labour councillor for the Balham ward, said after finding the rubbish on Wandsworth Common she noticed an address on a box and walked to his house to question him about it because the council doesn’t “like fining people”.
After speaking to him, she said on X he told her “he had organised a football match on the common” attended by 1,000 people, and “the event generated all that refuse”.
The councillor said despite planning “how all the stuff got here… in cars”, the man “didn’t have a plan to remove it”.
“An easy plan would have been to divide it up with the people who arrived with it in their cars,” she continued.
