QUESTION NO.5

QUESTION: Councillor W. Carey

To ask the Chief Executive what actions can be taken to tackle illegal dumping alongside bins located at bus shelter on Woodford Walk at junction of Yellow Meadows Grove?

REPLY:

This area is patrolled regularly by the Council's Litter Wardens. the number of complaints received in relation to this specific location have increased in recent times; a total of twelve complaints to date in 2023. Evidence to identify the alleged offenders was identified on one occasion and a witness report was provided in relation to another incident; fines have been issued in both cases. Prosecutions will follow if the fines are not paid.

As always, the Council is grateful for assistance and support from local residents or others in their investigations of such incidents as they arise, such as in the case mentioned above.
