Minutes:
Councillor Amina Ali, Cabinet Member for Environment, introduced the report. She explained that the Council currently had a three-lot contract which required an extension and then a new tender to be agreed.
During discussion the Mayor noted that there were legal changes required on local enforcement. He also noted disappointment on the need to extend the current contract.
Councillor Dave Chesterton, Chair of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee (OSC), noted the concerns of OSC that abandoned vehicles were the focus of Anti-Social Behaviour especially on housing association land.
The Mayor welcomed OSC’s focus on this issue and he then agreed the recommendations as set out in the report.
