Submission Documents: By Bailie Kyle Thornton:- "Council agrees that flytipping is anti-social behaviour, environmentally damaging and that residents should not have to tolerate it in their communities. Council notes that since the suspension of the bulk uplift services due to the COVID-19 Pandemic in late March that residents have reported increased sightings of flytipping in areas across Glasgow. Council thanks all of those responsible citizens in Glasgow who have complied with requests to keep bulky waste in gardens and private spaces until services are able to fully resume. Council agrees that the bulk uplift service must resume as soon as possible. Council resolves to have a zero-tolerance approach to flytipping. Council resolves that firm and clear action is required to tackle flytipping across Glasgow and therefore instructs that a report should be brought to the Environment and Sustainability Committee outlining actions available to enforce a zero-tolerance approach to flytipping. Council instructs that this report should be submitted to the committee within the next three months and should set out proposals (and their associated costs) in the following areas: The cost of flytipping to Glasgow City Council from clean-up to investigation and enforcement. How to increase investigation and enforcement against those who commit flytipping. Outline how the Council could "name and shame" those who are caught flytipping. The effectiveness of the Council's current reporting streams for flytipping and if these can be changed or improved. How to ensure flytipping is cleared quickly to prevent areas becoming 'hotspots' and what work can be undertaken to stop 'hotspots' for flytipping developing. The impact that charging for bulk uplift will have on flytipping. Any other matters related to flytipping which officers consider pertinent. " Help Icon
