QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor L. Dunne

To ask the Chief Executive if there are plans to consult with the Environment SPC to replicate plastic pollution signage initiatives that are seen across the Country "Please take away 3 pieces of plastic every time you visit the Park/Woods/Mountains".

REPLY:

Under the Litter Pollution Act, it is a requirement for each local authority to review its Litter Management Plan at least once every three years, the current SDCC Litter Management plan covers the period up to the end of 2019.  A review of the plan has been initiated and it is anticipated that this will be brought to the February meeting of the Environment, Public Realm and Climate Change Strategic Policy Committee (SPC) again for discussion after the public consultation period has ended.

It is proposed that this suggestion will be considered by the SPC as part of the 2020 - 2024 Litter Management Plan.
