Fly Tipping

· Fly Tipping has always been a problem but seems to be on the increase since covid-19 become a problem. I have contacted Police and Tony Dixon to ask for help and support. Support has been offered from both.

Baz Bains (Supportive Village Scheme)

· I met with Baz and he is very keen to meet again and progress with our plan for an open-air crime prevention day in Tanworth in Arden.

Future Police Spending

· I will be taking part in a zoom meeting 17/12/20.

CCTV Information gathering

· Information gathering continues, I have made contact with another local resident who specialises in CCTV insulations. He is currently working with other parish councils which is encouraging.

Summary

Due to covid-19 and tier 3 restrictions it’s difficult to progress as quickly as hoped.
