*RESOLVED
|
(1) |
That the Enterprise and Wellbeing Scrutiny Committee be thanked for their work on this issue and their comprehensive report.
|
|
(2) |
That a review of staff resources for the enforcement team be carried out.
|
|
(3) |
That the potential of the Neighbourhood Wardens be fully realised and that they receive extra training in carrying out enforcement action, so to feel more confident and able to issue penalty notices. Also that the potential for more collaborative working between the Neighbourhoods team, and Environmental Services Street Scene team, as a result of the provisions under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, be considered.
|
|
(4) |
That new and functioning mobile phones be purchased for the Environmental Services, Street Scene Team as the current phones are old and often do not work.
|
|
(5) |
That a review of the provision of dog bins in the borough takes place, to look at the location, usage and number of bins, so that it can be determined if dog bin provision is an effective use of resources or if the resources could be spent more effectively providing standard bins which can be used to dispose of dog waste as well as general litter.
|
|
(6) |
That on all temporary signs and notices that are produced to discourage dog fouling that the maximum fine of “up to £1000” be used in the wording as is done by Bassetlaw District Council. Also that Bassetlaw District Council be contacted to see if the effective and innovative imagery on their signs can be borrowed and to enable the sharing of best practice.
|
|
(7) |
That a coordinated and structured approach to communication and engagement with residents of the borough to include school engagement, community engagement, key message delivery and advertising, be adopted.
