Report by Chair of Scrutiny Panel, Councillor Jim Lynch

The Committee gave consideration to a report presenting the findings of the Fly-tipping Scrutiny Review, which was carried out as per the 2021/22 scrutiny plan.  

Discussion was had in relation to the relationship between the volume of fly-tipping complaints and the request for special uplifts, with it being agreed that there was an opportunity to see if a link could be established.  The absence of information relating to the Fly-tipping Scotland app which was introduced in 2015 was also discussed, with the Committee agreeing that this report was still a work in progress.  

Decision

The Audit and Scrutiny Committee:-

1.    Noted that the draft Fly-tipping Scrutiny Report is a work in progress; and

2.    Requested that the Chair of the Fly-tipping Scrutiny Review Panel consider the information discussed and determine the best way to proceed in order to progress the initial piece of work undertaken.
