Exploring effective enforcement against littering, fly-tipping and dog fouling offences

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) would like to understand more about the use and effectiveness of fixed penalty notices (FPNs) and the other available enforcement powers for tackling litter, fly-tipping, breaches of the household waste duty of care and dog fouling. This research will provide insights into the use and effectiveness of these enforcement powers and identify barriers and facilitators of effective enforcement. It will also make recommendations for areas to explore further.
