MOTION NO. 8

MOTION: Councillor E. Murphy

That this ACM calls on the Council to implement CCTV on Gunny Hill to address the issue of flytipping.

REPORT:

As always, the Council is grateful for assistance and support from local residents or others in their investigations of incidents of littering and illegal dumping.

All incidents of littering and illegal dumping at various locations along Gunny Hill/Old Court Road are investigated by enforcement staff, however in the absence of substantive evidence / witness statements and the presence of such witnesses in court it may not be possible for us to bring successful prosecutions.

Due to the alignment of the roadway it leaves it difficult to identify a location to put CCTV as there is no one isolated location of dumping.

Oxigen carry out monthly cleansing of this location, they are scheduled to be out on Gunny Hill on the 11th February 2022 and their last cleanse of this location was on the 13th January 2022.  Cleansing of this road requires Traffic Management to be in place.

We will have further discussions with our CCTV service provider to determine if there is a suitable solution to monitoring the roadway.
