Dealing with Food Related Litter
What we promised: to ensure premises from which litter is originating deal with the problem.
The Council works with businesses to ensure they take responsibility for the litter they produce. This includes litter dropped by their customers as they leave their premises. During August Streetscence Officers visited a number of businesses who when requested all agreed to to put in places measures, such as providing a bin or carrying out litter pick, to help reduce the amount litter outside their premises. In support of this action litter enforcement patrols have continued to take place which has resulted in one fixed penalty litter notice been issued in August. Accordingly, the Council continues to achieve its targets by ensuring that all incidents of littering outside fast food premises and other commercial premises are responded to prevent or reduce future incidents of littering. Therefore the Council has achieved its target of 100% compliance for August.
