Arising from a report of the Head of HR and Development, a joint meeting of the Community Wellbeing and Decent and Affordable Homes Policy Development Group had recommended that the new Public Health Enforcement Policy be recommended to Council and reviewed every two years. 

The Cabinet Member for Community Well-Being outlined the contents of the report stating that it had been considered by the joint Policy Development Group and noted by the Licensing and Regulatory Committees.  The new policy encompassed enforcement functions across a number of services within the council. 

Members’ attention was drawn to the addendum attached to the policy relating to the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA) – paragraph 6.4 which was additional information gained since discussions had taken place at the Joint Policy Development Group. All Members who had originally received the report had been advised of the addendum.

Discussion took place regarding the need for a comprehensive guide to be put in place.

(Proposed by Mrs M E Squires and seconded by Cllr  C R Slade)
