27 Environmental Data Reports PDF 584 KB
8.45 to 9.15 pm
Minutes:
The Committee received an Environmental Data Report from Wendy Young the Operations Manager (Community Engagement and Enforcement).
The Committee discussed the emerging priorities. The
Committee welcomed the work completed in recent months.
The Committee made
the following comments:
i.
Suggested that
lunch time litter from students at Campkin Road and
surrounding areas continued to be a problem.
ii.
Requested that
the dog waste bin in Bramblesfields/Pippin Drive be relocated (alternative
location to be agreed outside the meeting).
iii.
Suggested that
Officers could be asked to monitor Balfour Beatty barriers around street lamp
and to right any that had been knocked down.
Councillor Manning questioned how the additional work was being delivered without additional funding and asked if there was data to support an improved performance. The Operations Manager stated that there had been some increase in staffing. However, the improvements had been achieved by increased autonomy and flexibility of workers and improvements to data recording. There was also increased flexibility regarding the location of bins: additional bins could be added and underused or problematic bins removed.
The Committee
Resolved unanimously
