13.2    In response to Malebogo Koakae raising issues around fly-tipping in their area, Chloe McLaughlin advised that they are on the list for the next round of fly-tipping cameras.

13.3    Harry Williams advised they are taking a data-led approach regarding which areas are taking part in the pilot and it would be helpful as a group to identify which areas may need an amnesty.

13.4    Ben D’Montigny commented that it would be good to get information on the financial impact of this and having an amnesty seasonally could help to promote behavioural change.

13.5    In response to Janet Gearing raising issues around garden clearing, Chloe McLaughlin advised that reporting this to Neighbourhood Officers in the first instance would be the best course of action.

13.6    Justine Harris advised that this work in the flats is also linked to fire safety work and they have to look at the hotspots.

13.8    Harry Williams raised the working-groups that are being established and suggested that this may be good to do with fly-tipping in communities as well.
