To receive an update on the Enforcement Agency and areas which fall under the Council’s responsibility – Rob Kelly

Mr Rob Kelly gave an update the current and proposed Enforcement Agency work.  Members were advised offences such as dog offences, graffiti, fly posting and waste relied on individuals seeing offence and reporting to the appropriate department.  Members were informed the new arrangements would initially be place for two years with further option to extend for two years.

It was noted the new scheme should be cost neutral, with any proceeds returned to the Council, however performance targets wouldn’t be set to ensure the new Strategy would be delivered in a fair and consistent manner.

Application of local and the Enforcement Agency regulations was discussed in respect of residents and visitors to the bay together with Covid restrictions.  Members noted the start date for the new Enforcement Agency would be 2 February 2021.
