WATCH (NW)
Iver Police Office: We are open every Tuesday from 10 am –
12 noon and 2 pm - 4 pm. The sessions on Tuesday have become very
busy, dealing with a variety of issues. We have become a drop-in
for local residents to enquire about local issues and we do our
best to get the issues addressed for them. For NW members we can
offer the use of the photocopier and word processor. We are also
setting up new NW schemes and helping existing schemes have any
information they require. Volunteers required – please telephone

FLY
TIPPING
This is a serious problem in many areas. Responsibility for clearing
up the tipping depends on where it is. If it is on the public highway,
contact the County Council (0845 230 2882). Other public areas,
including verges and lay-byes, are the responsibility of the South
Bucks District Council (01895 837200). However, individual landowners
must deal with tipping on private land except where certain hazardous
waste is involved, in which case the District Council may be requested
to deal with it.
Recently the Environment Agency took over the power to prosecute
offenders in court, so please contact them on 01494 431331 (fax
01494 434175) as soon as you can after the incident. Any evidence
such as time, exact place, details of vehicles etc would be welcomed.
Even bar codes on rubbish have been used to track down culprits!
