AMENDMENT TO DUTY OF CARE TO HOUSEHOLDERS pdf icon PDF 162 KB

Minutes:

The Executive Board Member considered a report which provided an overview of the reason for endorsing the enablement of Environmental Officers to issue a fix penalty for the offence of Household waste duty of care instead of prosecuting offenders through the court.

 

The offences of duty of care relate to householders who do not dispose of their waste correctly and does not apply where waste is collected by Carmarthenshire County Council.

 

It was noted that the ability to issue a fixed penalty ticket is an amendment under Section 34(2A) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. The Fixed Penalty Notice fines proposed for a breach of householder duty of care was £300 and an early payment of £150 offered if paid within 10 days. The amounts stated were fixed following recommendations from the Welsh Government to have a consistent approach across Wales.

 

RESOLVED that the amendment to the duty of care to householders fixed penalty notice be approved.
