Issue - meetings

The Committee received a report from the Community Engagement and Enforcement Manager.

The report outlined an overview of the council’s Streets and Open Spaces, Environmental Health and Shared Waste service activity in the Area Committee area over the past six months.

In response to Members’ questions the Community Engagement and Enforcement Manager said the following:

      i.          Officers could issue fixed penalties so not all people were prosecuted for fly-tipping. Referred to agenda P35: 2 fines were issued.

     ii.          There were enough sites/projects to undertake works with volunteers related to the city’s streets and open spaces. Welcomed suggestions on how to do more, or if there were other suitable locations/projects not already being considered if people wanted to undertake their own projects to clean up neighbourhoods etc.

   iii.          Vegetation that hung over public paths could be the responsibility of several parties:

a.    Public land – City Council Streets & Open Spaces Team. There were Team Leaders for North, South, East and West of the City. Please contact them directly about issues to address. Issues can be reported via the councils webforms for the majority of the issues.

b.    Private land – Highways Authority/County Council.
