New Local Group Takes Action Against Fly Tipping in Sefton Communities
Share
A new community led initiative is gaining momentum across Sefton, bringing together residents who are ready to take a stand against fly tipping and littering. The "Bootle & Sefton Grotspots and Flytipping Blackspots" Facebook group has been launched to help identify problem areas, share concerns, and work collectively to create cleaner, safer neighbourhoods.
This growing group is calling on residents in areas including Bootle, Netherton, Litherland, Seaforth, Waterloo, Crosby, and neighbouring wards such as Manor, Molyneux, Sudell, and Park, to join the conversation and get involved in tackling the issue.

🌍 Why It Matters
Fly tipping and general littering not only harm the environment — they impact public health, local pride, and the image of the community. By joining this group, residents are empowered to:
-
📸 Report grotspots and blackspots with images, video, and location info
-
🗣️ Share local knowledge to help direct cleanup efforts where they’re needed most
-
💬 Collaborate on actions to raise awareness and hold responsible parties accountable
-
🤝 Work together with neighbours to protect shared spaces and green areas
This is not a complaints group, but a solutions-focused network where the aim is to take action and make change happen — through cooperation, advocacy, and shared community pride.
