Jane Cherrington Litter Management & Enforcement

Approach to litter • Neighbourhood services • Enforcement Officers & Waste Officers • Litter bin policy on placement • Sponsorship to cover costs • Annual campaign • On going schools education programme • Community Litter Picks (KWT) and Environmental Champion Scheme • More waste containment e.g wheeled bins • Nudge theory

Current Littering powers • Littering – Dropping litter – Littering from vehicles • Dog Fouling • Fly tipping • Waste Accumulations & frontages • Street Litter Control Notices

Wider powers • Highways Act FPNs (£100 Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) – Tables and chairs – Skips on highways – Parking on grass verges – A-Frames • Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act – Community protection orders • Waste and litter from land • Help tackle fast food litter – Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) • Dog controls (£80 FPN) • Flyers and flyposting (License fee, plus (£80 FPN)

Processes • Highways FPNs – Set the process and communicate – Dealt with jointly across waste and highways teams • PSPO – Carry out consultation on areas to zone • Flyering – not permitted; permitted with a license • Dog Controls – Number of dogs under an individuals control; dogs permitted but must be on a lead; allowed to be off the lead; banned altogether; dog fouling permitted

Alternative approach • Litter enforcement partner – No risk to the Council – Allow existing Council resources to focus on waste presentation – Commission based (typically 50%) 12 mth trial – Body Cameras and hand held technology – Evenings and weekends
