Environmental Crime

Littering, Fly Tipping, Dog Fouling, Graffiti, Urinating in the streets, Fly Posting and Abandoning a Vehicle are illegal, they have a negative impact on the environment and they are extremely anti social.

We are determined to highlight the issues that are important to our residents and take appropriate action against anyone caught carrying out these crimes. Boston Borough Council recognises the importance of raising awareness; giving advice encouraging positive behaviour and educating people on different aspects of the law.

It is fundamental in undertaking any enforcement programme. We are committed to working with our partners and the community to improve the quality and attractiveness of the local environment and ensure that Boston is a clean, green and safe place to live and work.
