Residents manned the Preston Road car park gates until 2am in the morning at the weekend when they saw industrial level flytipping taking place. They took prompt action to prevent further rubbish being dumped.
I understand that around 10 vans were involved. One van was captured by police after residents phoned 999 with the number plate details. A resident said that participants pay one person and then others pile in. It is hoped that police have gained enough information to enable Brent Enforcement to follow up.

Brent Council and Cllrs should be ashamed of themselves. Sadiq Khan is also to blame. Litter and fly-tipping have become a real problem under his mayorship. London is now being described as s***-hole by many.
There must be cctv in the area including ulez cameras to track the culprits???
Unfortunately no CCTV in the car park or John Billham Park, this is in my Kenton Ward and I visited yesterday and at least £20,000 worth of flytipped waste dumped. Thanks to Suzanne from Brent Parks a volunteer highlighted this incident as she lives a stone thiw away. I have requested CCTV a number of times but the Labour Administration think this is not necessary.
Wouldn't it be better for Brent Council to spend more money collecting our waste for free from our homes???
How much are Brent Council spending on highly salaried council officers (who get paid despite poor results), council enforcement officers and Veolia employees working to catch offenders and clear all this dumped waste from our streets which does not them get recycled???
Veolia employees is useless I see them sitting in the park regularly just passing time looking at their phones and not picking any litter!
Loads of times we've seen Veolia remove fly tips we've reported but they leave the debris behind which means we then have to further report that the area needs cleaning - guess Veolia get paid for two visits to the same location???
We've been requesting cctv for over 7 years at a location near us where there is daily flytipping right next to peoples houses but just get every excuse under the sun from Brent Council for why they won't install it.
That's the problem when you have highly paid Council Executives who live in lovely places like Oxford and just don't care about us here.
