The Petition Hearing - Cabinet Member for Community & Environment is scheduled to consider two petitions from residents. The first petition concerns waste management and parking issues on Coldharbour Lane and Hunters Grove in Hayes, while the second addresses anti-social behaviour at Fassnidge Park in Uxbridge.

Waste Management and Parking on Coldharbour Lane and Hunters Grove, Hayes

A significant portion of the meeting is scheduled to focus on a petition requesting improvements to waste management and parking controls on Coldharbour Lane and Hunters Grove, Hayes. The petition outlines several key requests: the containment of commercial waste bins on private land, the use of smaller vehicles for more frequent waste collection, and the installation of additional bollards to prevent illegal parking.

The report pack indicates that the area in question, specifically land at 106 to 126 Coldharbour Lane, has been used for storing bulk waste bins and other waste items, primarily for residents of the flats above. This has led to issues with overflowing bins, attracting pests, and contributing to fly-tipping. The land's ownership has recently changed to Uniq Block Management.

The report notes that while the Council has a contract for two bulk bins with weekly collections, smaller vehicles are not considered suitable for the volume and weight of waste generated. The report also highlights that the Council has limited enforcement powers on privately owned land. However, it is suggested that a long-term solution could involve containing the waste storage area. The report mentions that additional bollards have already been installed in the area in response to previous requests, following guidance that bollards should be a last resort after all enforcement options have been exhausted. The report also details previous enforcement actions taken by the Council's Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) team, including issuing Fixed Penalty Notices for littering and fly-tipping.

The report recommends that the Cabinet Member for Community & Environment, Councillor Wayne Bridges, notes the work undertaken to improve the bin storage area, acknowledges the legal limitations on enforcement on private land, and notes the recent change in land ownership. It also suggests noting the ASB team's community initiatives and agreeing to hold a site meeting with the petitioner and concerned residents.

Anti-Social Behaviour at Fassnidge Park, Uxbridge

The meeting is also scheduled to consider a petition requesting the locking of gates at Fassnidge Park, Uxbridge, to address anti-social behaviour (ASB). Further details on this item are to follow.

The meeting will be chaired by Councillor Wayne Bridges, Cabinet Member for Community & Environment. Lloyd White, Head of Democratic Services, is also listed as an attendee. The meeting is scheduled to be broadcast on the Council's YouTube channel.
