Waste crime in Knowsley

Backbench debate (separate chamber, no votes)

Anneliese Midgley MP is raising concerns about waste crime in her Knowsley constituency in a Westminster Hall debate. This debate will examine the scale and impact of illegal waste activity in the area, likely covering fly-tipping, unauthorised waste disposal, and enforcement challenges, and will press the government on solutions.

Waste crime affects local communities through environmental damage, public health risks, and the costs of enforcement and cleanup. This debate highlights how illegal waste activity impacts specific constituencies and what central government support is needed to tackle it at the local level.
