Specialist pilots are to deploy drones to catch crime gangs fly-tipping waste in London and other parts of the country. The team of 33 pilots will use 54 unmanned aircraft fitted with laser mapping technology to track from the air illegal waste dumps in the South East and other regions.Unles it's given these types of drones it's doomed to failure:
London has the highest rate of fly-tipping in the country, according to recent data, at more than twice the English average, with Croydon the worst affected borough.
Really? Worse than my own dear borough, where I cannot walk the 10 minutes to the local station without seeing the overnight activities of my diverse and enriching 'neighbours'?
Ugh...
The new Environment Agency (EA) squad will target criminal gangs behind large-scale waste dumping rather than individuals involved in opportunistic and smaller scale fly-tipping.
So, ignoring the 'Broken Windows' effect that did so much to clean up New York, before the idiot Democrats went and elected someone who turned it back into a crimeridden literal shithole again?
Officers from the agency will also be able to swiftly scan and cross-check lorry licence applications against waste permit records, using a new screening tool.
It's staggering that this is a new thing, and not something implimented from the get -go.
