Residents reported that rubbish had been dumped in Cazenove Road, behind the blue container belonging to the works being carried out in Chingford Road by the gas company, Cllr John Macklin asked council officers to investigate and have it removed.

Officers carried out an investigation and found

1. The blue container belongs to National Grid and is associated with the Borough wide gas works that are currently taking place.

2. The fly tip appears to come from the building works being carried on at the adjacent property, 293 Chingford Rd.

3. The scaffolding has been erected on the highway without permssion from the Council.

The rubbish was cleared earlier today after investigation by the Enforcement Officer.  The officer will now establish who the owners of 293 Chingford Rd are and interview them in relation to the offences of fly tipping and erecting a scaffolding on the highway without a permit.  They will also be advised to urgently apply for a permit for the scaffold or they will be served with a notice requiring it’s removal from the Highway.
