Our Solution - Quicklift
Abandoned
vehicles are a form of fly tipping that is becoming an increasing
problem in South Tyneside.
Increased dumping of waste and wheeled bins stored in areas prone to arson attacks make this problem worse. Many of the areas where waste is dumped are derelict properties which are likely targets for arson attacks.
To reduce vehicle, waste and property related arson and vandalism South Tyneside Council, Northumbria Police, Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue and other partners have joined forces to introduce "Quicklift". Quicklift will reduce vehicle, waste and property related arson.
How will we do this?
The "Quicklift" Partnership
will identify abandoned vehicles and waste
early and remove them quickly.
There is a hotline and website that you can use to report abandoned vehicles and waste so that they can be taken away before they are vandalised or burned.
How can I help?
If you see anything suspicious that may lead to the risk of
arson, like an
abandoned vehicle, dumped rubbish or open access to property,
call the
Contact Centre at the Council on 0191 427 7000. Your call
will be dealt
with quickly and in confidence, either by the Council, Fire
Service or Police.
In Partnership to Combat Arson!

Quick lift is part funded through the arson control forum and the office of the deputy Prime Minister.
