MOTION NO. 6
MOTION: Councillor J. Lahart
"That the Environmental Health Officer investigate the rear of the shops at Rosemount where complaints have been received from residents concerning the manner in which waste is being held while awaiting disposal and which is allegedly leading to the presence of vermin."
REPORT:
The Principal Environmental Health Officer reports that a member of his team, has investigated this complaint. He has further reported that the issue centred around the storage of decayed fruit and vegetables prior to collection and to unsolicited people removing such foods from these storage bins and thus causing a nuisance by leaving decaying organic matter on the pavements. This matter has been addressed and the proprietor has taken action to ensure that this cannot occur and such waste will be presented for collection just prior to the designated vehicle arrival time.
