Grass-cutting on council properties | Due to wet conditions of the grass, we may not be able to cut all of the grass areas of our council properties at this current time; this includes our parks, open spaces and play areas. Our team are surveying the sites and as soon as the areas are dry enough, our team will be grass-cutting as usual. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Littering from vehicles

Decision Maker: Strategic Director of Place

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

New legislation was implemented in 2018 which allows local authorities to issue a fixed penalty notice (FPN) for littering from vehicles on the registered keeper of the vehicle. The FPN is £150 with an early repayment of £90. However, if the FPN is not paid within 28 days the amount doubles to £300.

Reasons for the decision:

This new power will allow enforcement officers the opportunity to fully investigate littering from vehicles and hopefully add a deterrent to prevent people littering.

Alternative options considered:
