Minutes:

Cabinet received a report providing an update on the work undertaken on widening enforcement powers to improve the public realm. The report details local member consultation on fixed penalty notices and details the development of a policy statement regarding Community Protection Notices.  This supports the Council’s commitment to ensure a high quality city environment, clean and well managed streets and challenge poor social responsibility.
