Purpose:

Content: RESOLVED: 1.      That this Council: (a)     pays tribute to the consistently high performance of our waste collection teams and the officers who manage the contract with Suez; (b)    regrets therefore the evidenced lack of cooperation on the part of some management companies of flats whose inaction causes waste to build up uncollected until it overflows onto a carpark or pavement; (c)     believes that this is both an eyesore and a health risk, and therefore: (i)      asks the Cabinet and Chief Executive to continue working proactively to require management companies to fulfil their responsibilities; and (ii)     not to hesitate to use such environmental and enforcement powers as the Council has in order to end the build up waste in this way.”
