Issue - meetings

To provide an update of the actions taken in response to the recommendations from the Overview and Scrutiny Committee on the Scrutiny Review of Fly Tipping of June 2007.

The Committee received an update report on the action plan created in response to the recommendations from the Overview and Scrutiny Committee on the Scrutiny Review of Fly Tipping.

The Committee asked for further details on the work undertaken to identify unused plots of land with the potential for development as usable open spaces in the borough and sources of funding. It was reported that work to identify fly tipping hotspots contributed to this, although no mapping exercise had been carried out for this specific purpose. A bid for funding to develop outdoor sites on a response basis had been included in the pre-budget planning process.

It was suggested that fly tipping enforcement data be included on the agenda for each Safer Neighbourhoods Panel as a means of raising awareness, and that the Haringey People article relating to fly tipping enforcement also be circulated to all leaseholders of commercial properties in the borough.

Cllr Winskill offered to submit additional questions on the report to the Enforcement Service after the meeting, and would speak to John Morris for further information on the issue of the development of micro-sites.

RESOLVED

That the update of the action plan created in response to the recommendations in the Scrutiny Review of Fly Tipping be noted.
