Agenda item

Any items of business that the Chairman may decide are urgent.

In response to a question from the Chairman regarding idling vehicles belonging to mobile shredding companies, the Assistant Director of Street Scene and Strategy advised that an officer working group would be established to consider the enforcement powers available against any breaches to legislation committed by the vehicles. A report outlining the working group’s findings would be submitted to the appropriate Committee(s) in due course.

Members were advised of the award for best team within the CoLP received by the Operation Broadway team. Members congratulated the team for their deserved recognition and noted the importance of trading standards powers within the CoLP.

Members also thanked the Chairman for the recent Annual River Inspection event and the Chairman thanked all those involved in the organisation of such a successful event.
