(Decision Notice D22018CAB)

Consideration of recommendations (SSE 21/30) to the Cabinet from the meeting of the Street Scene and Environment Services Advisory Board of 23 November 2021.

The Cabinet resolved that:

(1)             the proposed scale of charges for household bulky refuse and fridge/freezer collections, ‘missed’ refuse collections, stray dog redemption fees, pest control, food certificates, contaminated land monitoring and private water supplies, as detailed in the report, be approved; and

(2)            the proposed scale of charges be implemented from 1 April 2022

This report sets out the proposed fees and charges for the provision of services in respect of garden waste subscriptions, household bulky refuse & fridge/freezer collections, “missed” refuse collections, stray dog redemption fees, pest control, food certificates, contaminated land monitoring and private water supplies from 1 April 2022.

The joint report of the Director of Street Scene, Leisure and Technical Services and the Director of Planning, Housing and Environmental Health set out the proposed fees and charges for the provision of services in respect of green waste subscriptions, household bulky refuse and fridge/freezer collections, “missed” refuse collections, stray dog redemption fees, pest control, food certificates, contaminated land monitoring and private water supplies from 1 April 2022. 

Members expressed particular concern about the renewal date and proposed increase in charge for subscriptions to the green waste service which had been suspended in July 2021 and the implications this could have on renewals and future take-up of the scheme.  An amendment was proposed and agreed to remove the proposed increases to garden waste subscriptions from the scale of charges for 2022/23.

RECOMMENDED:  That

(1)         the proposed scale of charges for household bulky refuse and fridge/freezer collections, “missed” refuse collections, stray dog redemption fees, pest control, food certificates, contaminated land monitoring and private water supplies, as detailed in the report, be approved; and

(2)         the proposed scale of charges be implemented from 1 April 2022.
