Cabinet Member for Environmental and Rural Affairs

Cabinet considered the report of the Head of Economy and Community and the above Cabinet Member which set out details of a new approach to tackling litter and dog fouling through a pilot Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) project.  The report had taken on board comments made by Scrutiny in relation to fees and charges.

Members welcomed the report.

In response to a query, the Cabinet Member for Environmental and Rural Affairs advised that initially ‘hotspot’ areas would be targeted, but once resources increased the scheme would be implemented in all areas of the Borough.

Resolved:

(1) That the Fixed Penalty Notice pilot project to tackle littering and dog fouling be agreed.

(2) That a waiver of finance and contract standing orders to contract the services of ‘Kingdom’ for the pilot project be agreed.
