The team has received complaints about worsening litter problems in the area around York College, and in response have been patrolling the area and advising students that littering is an offence.
Previous litter picks in the area near the College have yielded a bumper haul of litter
Whilst on patrol, the team has witnessed littering offences, and have issued:
- Two litter Fixed Penalty Notices (one relating to College students)
- Three litter warnings (all related to College students)
- Two littering offences pending further investigation (both relating to College students)
There are also plans to install a ‘No flytipping’ sign on Moor Lane.
One fixed penalty notice has been issued for cars advertised for sale on the highway.
The team has been dealing with an ongoing noise complaint for dog barking, and has successfully served a noise abatement notice on the residents.
