Partner involvement
The Environment Agency, like so many other organisations, has realised that resources are not available to service all the things it would like to do. There is also a move to involve partner organisations where possible.
The Environment Agency NW Central Area have been working with the Lancashire Business Environment Association (Lancashire BEA) for a number of years. One example is the Sustainable Water Environment in Lancashire (SWEL) programme which is successfully addressing water issues across the County. When funding became available to take the Fly Tipping Forum to another level the Agency turned to the Lancashire BEA and the CRAFT programme was born. After 2 years of funding from the Environment Agency a successful application was made to the Business Resource Efficiency and Waste (BREW) programme funded by DEFRA through the North West Development Agency and managed in the north west by ENWORKS. From January 2006 the project is known as the Anti-Fly Tipping programme.
