Does this constitute fly tipping?
Discussion
Good luck finding anyone with authority to do anything that will take an interest.
It’s wrong and shouldn’t happen but you’ll be very lucky to get any resolution with an official complaint.
I had something similar and was told to report it to HSE (health and safety) who after weeks of waiting told me they wouldn’t do anything other than note it down in case of anything else happening.

Some councils use private sector contractors to enforce litter rules.

This article is of a guy getting a £500 fine for leaving 2 doors propped up outside his house for a few hours.
It also includes a lady leaving unwanted furniture out for collection.
Over-zealous comes to mind, but it is a post code lottery at present, so some councils are over enforced and other under enforced.
(Though I wonder if a contractor would tackle a bunch of big lads tipping waste, or just walk the other way)

I d say so. Are they just expecting the council to take it away because they can t be arsed?
No. It will be sat waiting for a grab lorry to take it away. Some builders use those rather than a skip. I don't agree with blocking the pavement like that, but fly tipping on your own (or clients) doorstep is beyond idiotic.
Great example of why someone is significantly cheaper.
someone ordered the blocks to be delivered before its ready or even dug out, hence the pile of crap now on the pavement because they've ran out of space.
Unfortunately being considerate costs.
Not that many potential customers care at the getting prices stage. It's just a cost comparison with the more expensive bloke probably 'ripping off' people.
But this is part of the result of using idiots.
It's not fly tipping as such, the council won't like it but they would be told to clear it asap.
by the time the council get there it will be gone.

I am no expert but am sure HSE would fine the company or individual as the pavement is blocked and there are no cones or barriers to protect pedestrians walking into the road to get around it. Hopefully it will be gone on Tuesday otherwise report them. Someone will deserve a fine if it is still there.

its what skips are for
Because of the recent price hikes for skips; contractors are increasing using a service that comes and collects the s
te in either a truck or a grabber if it's rubble. (Hopefully they don't just fly tip it somewhere).You need to leave the s
te somewhere accessible.Perhaps that what is happening here.

Cash was king and made a significant difference when counted against the 8-9 lorry loads that was taken away...
