Description

The Central, Dearne, North, North East and South Area Councils have reaffirmed 'the environment' as one of the key issues that they wish to prioritise during 2016/17. Within the context of this priority, an enhanced enforcement service is seen as vital to prevent environmental problems escalating and to ensure that the positive work undertaken to maintain the environment is not undone by an anti-social minority. Public feedback consistently identifies environmental blight through littering, dog fouling and illegal parking as a significant cause of local concern and highlights where the people who live and work in the area want to see action being taken. This proposed intervention will strengthen the ability to demonstrate a strong stance on enforcement issues through this extra provision and will be marketed through a No Tolerance approach in the 5 Area Council areas identified above. The Service Provider will target problems of littering, dog fouling and parking enforcement within all Lot Areas.This will include proactive patrolling based on intelligence profiles provided from information gathered from the Environmental Hotline number, also from members of Area Councils, Area Manager's and the Council's SaferCommunities Service. The Safer Communities Service will provide intelligence to the provider to enable suitabledeployment of staff and resources. The Service Provider's Enforcement Officers will patrol priority areas and robustly enforce against any offences witnessed by issuing a fixed penalty notice. Fixed Penalty Notices or Penalty Charge Notices will be issued in all circumstances where an offence has been witnessed or established. Where littering is observed from vehicles, registration numbers will be taken and passed to the Council's Safer Communities Service, along with a witness statement to allow for the serving of a Fixed Penalty Notice. The 5 Area Councils require one organisation to provide the service across all 5 lots, therefore service providers must tender for all lots. It is anticipated that the contracts will be for 12 months, with an option to extendby 12 months and then a further 12 months (1 year +1+1). However, a 6 month break point exists when performance and achievement of outcomes will be reviewed and, on the basis of findings, decisions will betaken to either continue to full term or cease the contract. There are no guarantees after the first initial 12 months that each individual Area Council will have the funding available to extend the contract or will decide ithas a continuing need either the same level of service or for the service as a whole. Each Area Council has theirown budget and this may result in individual Lots coming to an end.
