Issue - meetings

The Committee received a report from the Community Engagement and Enforcement team. Community Enforcement officers were present to answer questions.

The report outlined an overview of City Council Refuse and Environment and Streets and Open Spaces service activity relating to the geographical area served by the North Area Committee.  The report identified the reactive and proactive service actions undertaken in the previous quarter, including the requested priority targets, and reported back on the recommended issues and associated actions. It also included key officer contacts for the reporting of waste and refuse and public realm issues.

The following were suggestions for Members on what action could be considered for priority within the North Area for the next quarter:

·        Continue to address litter left dropped on route from CRC to local shops

·        Continue to tackle fly tipping.

·        Investigate litter around Green End Road Co-op.

·        Investigate fly tipping/litter around Elizabeth Way underpass. – this falls within the East area and will be monitored by the team

The Committee resolved unanimously to prioritise:

Continue the following existing priorities:

     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.
