At the meeting of the Environment and Enforcement Committee on 28 June 2017, the establishment of a Corporate Enforcement Team was approved, together with the appointment of a General Manager. 

The Committee also approved a recommendation to bring back a workplan for Enforcement Activity to the next Committee meeting. 

Ms Lilley explained to the committee members about the “Enforcement Team” and also the draft workplan (appendix A of the report).  Providing incidents were recorded through the systems the Council have set up, reports could be produced to show what enforcement issues had occurred and what was being done. 

Cllr Kendall suggested that the Plan needed more work and Cllr Parker emphasised that this was a “Draft” plan at this stage.  

A motion was MOVED by Cllr Mrs Murphy and SECONDED by Cllr Barrell to approve the recommendations in the report. 

A vote was taken by a show of hands and it was UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED that:

1.    Members note the appointment of the General and Deputy Managers for Corporate Enforcement. 

2.    Members approve the draft Corporate Enforcement Strategy subject to consultation with senior managers. 

Reason for recommendations

To provide a measurable work plan for Corporate Enforcement to report on outcomes and achievements.
