Issue - meetings

The Committee received an Environmental Report from Wendy Young the Operations Manager (Community Engagement and Enforcement)                    

The Committee discussed the emerging priorities.

Wendy Young invited Councillors and members of the public to put forward suitable, small scale, community projects that could be completed as community pay-back tasks.

Members welcomed the suggestions of environmental ward walkabouts and stated that they would be happy to take part.

Councillor Pitt asked if action could be taken regarding dog fouling on Chesterton Recreation ground as raised in the Open Forum. It was suggested that Wendy Young would meet with  Friends of Chesterton Rec to agree what could be done. This would include additional bins and signage. This matter would be added to the priorities as an area for the dog wardens to patrol.

The Committee

Resolved unanimously to:

     i.        Enforcement joint working and patrols to deal with littering from students of Cambridge Regional College in the areas of Campkin Road and Nuns Way Recreation Ground and to work with the local businesses to address litter from their premises.

    ii.        Enforcement patrols to tackle fly tipping on communal archways and green areas at Minerva Way.

   iii.        Patrols to address dog fouling on Kings Hedges “Pulley” Recreation Ground, Nuns Way Recreation Ground, Arbury Town Park and Chesterton Recreation Ground including early mornings, evenings and weekends.

  iv.        Enforcement patrols to tackle fly tipping at Akeman Street and Darwin Drive and areas surrounding East Anglia’s Children’s Hospice shop forecourt.

   v.        Enforcement patrols to tackle littering issues from shops at Carlton Terrace, and Co-op on Chesterton Road and deal with waste management issues.
