Reason for Decisions:
The adoption of Fixed Penalty Notice’s for “Householders Duty of Care”
with respect to small scale fly tipping of household waste will improve the Authority’s
effectiveness in tackling fly tipping and allow officers to deal with small
scale fly tipping more proportionately and efficiently. Any monies accrued as a
result of issuing notices will help to offset the associated investigatory
costs/removal costs of fly-tipped waste and reduce the amount of case files
submitted to the Authority’s Legal Section.
Implementation
of Decisions:
The decisions will be implemented after the
three-day call-in period.
