RESOLVED

To accept the following recommendations from Full Council:

Full Council RESOLVED to ask Cabinet to:

i)       Investigate fly-tipping instances and where suitable evidence exists, take appropriate enforcement action possible against those responsible.

ii)      Ensure all fixed penalty notices for littering and fly-tipping to the legal maximum as appropriate

iii)     Promote regularly the “Lets S.C.R.A.P. fly-tipping” campaign to increase awareness of the householder Duty of Care requirements so that they only use registered waste carriers to dispose of their waste.

iv)      Ensure that all businesses in the district have appropriate Duty of Care arrangements in place and take appropriate action where this is found not to be the case.

v)        Lobby the Government to amend the Environmental Protection Act 1990 so that the Government take financial responsibility for the removal of fly-tipping waste from private land.
