answer text: The Prime Minister’s Anti-social Behaviour Action Plan sets out how we will support councils to take tougher action against those who fly-tip. This includes raising the upper limit of spot fines for fly-tipping to £1,000, delivering on our manifesto commitment to increase penalties. The regulations to raise the upper limit have been laid and will come into force on 31st July 2023. We are also taking steps to help councils issue more of these penalties. In parallel, Defra is currently undertaking research to consider the effectiveness of the different enforcement options available to local authorities to tackle fly-tipping, including the use of fines. Over 80 local authorities have been engaged through this research.
