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.

Minutes:

The Strategic Director of Place presented the report to Members.

 

He informed Members that the area of land in question was a hotspot for fly tipping and that Street Cleansing team had been visiting the site three times a week with 360 tonnes of waste being removed in November. He advised that a long term solution would be to erect a barrier to restrict vehicles access to the site but would still allow the Council access to carry out enforcement and a third party to operate the barrier.

 

He stated that a public consultation had been held and all feedback had been incorporated into plan.

 

It was moved by Councillor R Blunt, seconded by Councillor N J Rushton and

 

RESOLVED THAT:

 

The introduction of the Public Space Protection Order be approved.

 

Reason for decision: To put in place a restriction on unauthorised motor vehicles to reduce incidents of fly tipping and illegal encampments.
