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. In January we responded to one report of cigarette butts deposited on the footway outside Londesborough Arms in Market Weighton. Officers met with the landlord who agreed to display anti-littering literature, remove cigarette butts from the footpath and consider installing a bin. 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 January.
