Request
I am writing to request information regarding fire incidents related to fly-tipping on Ray Lamb Way in Erith (DA8 2SP) over the past couple of decades. The persistent fly-tipping in this area has been an ongoing issue for many years and I am concerned about the increasing risks it poses to the environment, surrounding homes, and businesses I would appreciate it if you could provide the following information:
1. A record of all fire-related incidents connected to fly-tipping on Ray Lamb Way over the past two decades, if available
2. If possible, could I receive copies of these records or summaries of the incidents? Additionally, I would be grateful if you could share your views on the risks that the ongoing fly-tipping poses to both the environment and the local community The fire in 2022, which involved a large number of fire engines and firefighters clearly highlighted the danger that this waste poses, particularly in terms of fire hazards. Any insights you could provide on this matter would be invaluable in addressing the concerns of the local residents and businesses
