MOTION NO. 8

MOTION: Councillor M. Johansson

 That the Chief Executive look at options to solve the problem of consistent littering on Collinstown Rd between Finches Pub and the shops, including the possibility of additional signage to encourage proper disposal of litter.

REPORT:

All incidents of littering and illegal dumping reported or detected in any area are investigated by the Council's Litter Warden Service and any dumped material is searched for evidence. Where evidence is found, appropriate enforcement action is taken under the Litter Pollution Act 1997, as amended.

As always, the Council is grateful for assistance and support from local residents or others in their investigations of incidents as they arise. In the absence of substantive evidence / witness statements and the presence of such witnesses in court it is not possible for us to bring successful prosecutions.

The Environmental Awareness Office has requested that the local depot visits the area to assess if signage can be erected in the vicinity.
