    Notices of Motion

    Tackling Fly-Tipping in Sandwell

    Proposer: Councillor Chapman

    Seconder:  Councillor Dunn

     

              “This council notes that:

     

    1.   Government data for the year 2021/22 shows that local authorities in England dealt with 1.09 million fly-tipping incidents.

     

     

    2.   That there are significant resident concerns regarding incidents of fly-tipping all across Sandwell.

     

    3.   Fly-tipping on privately owned land is a significant issue in Sandwell.

     

    a.   Our street cleaning teams do their very best, under difficult circumstances, to clear fly-tips when they occur on council owned land, highways and pavements.

     

              This council resolves to:

     

    1.   Invite the Executive to consider extending free bulk waste collection service for large items, such as sofas and mattresses for all Sandwell residents.

     

    2.   Take a zero-tolerance approach to fly-tipping on privately owned land in Sandwell.  Ensuring that land managers, occupiers or owners of private property are responsible for clearing and disposing of any fly-tipping found on private land as soon as this is reported with enforcement action taken if not cleared within a reasonable timescale.

     

    These measures are proposed to encourage local people to dispose of their waste items through the proper channels rather than dumping them in the streets or storing them outside of properties.”

    Dropped Kerbs Initiative

    Proposer: Councillor Kalari

    Seconder: Councillor Anandou

     

    This council acknowledges the need for off street parking and its effect on road safety in residential areas. We acknowledge that with the current cost of living crisis and the annual increase of cars on the road, it is imperative that we are innovative in our approach to making off street parking as affordable and accessible for all residents.

     

    The council moves to invite the executive to explore the benefits of establishing a local authority Company to carry out the installation of dropped kerbs at an affordable price to residents.

    Investment in Defibrillators

    Proposer: Councillor W Gill

    Seconder: Councillor Fisher

     

    This Council recognises the importance of having defibrillators accessible, especially in public places, sports grounds and Government funded facilities.

     

    This Council understands the role that it has in facilitating the delivery of new defibrillators across our Borough.

     

    This Council acknowledges the benefits of the new rollout of defibrillators by the Government to all state-funded schools that currently don’t have one, with over 20,000 expected to be

    delivered by the end of the academic year to 18,000 schools.

     

    This Council commits to working with the local community to find suitable places to place defibrillators, acknowledging that they are most effective within 3 minutes of a person collapsing.

     

    This Council, therefore, resolves to invite the executive to commission a report into the accessibility of defibrillators in Sandwell and take any steps necessary to ensure that there is a defibrillator within a 3-minute radius of our town centres and high-streets.
