The minutes of the meeting held on 23 November 2022 were agreed as a correct record and signed by the Chair.

In relation to matters arising from the meeting held on 23 November, the Chair invited the Cabinet Portfolio Holder for Neighbourhoods and Climate Change, Councillor Wilkes, to provide an update.  Firstly, Councillor Wilkes thanked Members and officers for their work in respect of the Council’s declaration of an ecological emergency.

Councillor Wilkes then referred to the discussion at the last meeting regarding flytipping and he informed the Committee of the removal of the option for those caught flytipping to receive a discount for early repayment of fines. It is hoped this measure will help to continue the reduction of incidents of flytipping which, in the last eighteen months, had fallen by approximately 35%.
