00:00Fly tipping shot up by a third under the Conservatives and people are furious to see their communities buried under an avalanche of rubbish.
00:07So as part of this government's plan for change, we're determined to clean up Britain.
00:12We want councils to use these much more aggressive new tactics, using the latest technology like drones,
00:18to hunt down the fly tippers so that we can seize and crush their vehicles as a punishment for those that are committing these crimes,
00:26but also as a deterrent to others who are thinking of doing the same thing.
