The Portfolio Holder for Operational Services replied that fly tipping was a national problem, but in Hull there was a quicker response time than most. There was also a free bulky item collection service and ‘bring out your rubbish days’ as part of that service. In addition Street Scene currently removed the vast majority of fly tipping within 48 hours of receiving the request. Even during the busy post-Christmas period Street Scene still maintained this removal timeframe. Street Scene would actively enforce against fly tipping where evidence was available. The removal of fly tipping from private land; ten-foots, and alleyways was the responsibility of the landowner. Councillor Ieronimo asked if the Portfolio Holder for Economic Investment, Regeneration and Planning, Land and Property could please Page 9 of 324 135 explain wh y the CCTV on Bethune Avenue had been out of order for almost a year now? The Portfolio Holder for Economic Investment, Regeneration and Planning, Land and Property replied that this was a bit of a tale of woe. The planning permission granted for the new housing development did not include a condition on the developer to relocate the camera from its original position where the new access road needed to be built. Eventually, the developer did relocate the camera pole to a new location. When the scheme was finished, it turned out it had to be in the middle of the new foot path. The KCOM fibre connection required was never completed because of an adoption issue. It was protected under a Section 38 Notice, which prevented the digging up of the new footpath. He was obviously looking to resolve this with new options made available through the Smarter Cities platform and partners. He was guessing it would be some sort of wireless model to save them digging up the path. Due to the present position of the camera pole a meeting was being arranged with Councillor Ieronimo to see if alternative locations could be found to re-site the camera. So he thought there were some lessons to be learnt for all of us here. He would also work with his colleagues in the Planning Service to try and hold developers’ ‘feet to the fire’ to ensure those things were done at the front end, rather than try to be rescued at the back end. Councillor Fudge ask if the Portfolio Holder for Operational Services could update the Council on the impact of the Litter Enforcement Teams in the City following their implementation at the beginning of January, 2020? The Portfolio Holder for Operational Services replied that the new team was in place and enforcing from 8 th January, 2020.
