Clause 21 - Street litter control notices
Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Bill
10:15 am
Mrs Anne McIntosh (Shadow Minister, Environment and Transport; Vale of York, Conservative)
Will the Minister consider adding office buildings to the list of types of land to which street litter control notices will apply under sections 93 and 94 of the 1990 Act? Concerns have been raised with us about the cost of clearing street furniture and litter by local authorities and others obliged to do so.
A person commits an offence in relation to street litter control notices only if he fails to comply with an order of the magistrates court. Is the Minister saying that referral to a magistrates court would no longer be required? If there is no application to a magistrates court, will there be any possibility of appealing?
