Last updated: 8 days ago

Alasdair Stewart's council service, particularly in recent years, has been characterized by a deep commitment to scrutiny, efficiency, and environmental improvement. His focus has demonstrably sharpened on the practicalities of street cleaning, waste management, and the financial underpinnings of council services, with his 2026 activities as Chair of the Scrutiny Streets & Environment Sub-Committee highlighting these priorities.

Key Themes and Priorities: Stewart's overarching priorities revolve around ensuring council services are effective, efficient, and financially sustainable. He consistently seeks data-driven insights and challenges existing practices to drive improvement. Environmental concerns, particularly those related to public spaces and waste, have become increasingly prominent in his recent work.

Evolution of Focus: While Stewart has consistently engaged in committee work and scrutiny since at least 2024, his focus has become more specialized and action-oriented in recent years. In 2024, his involvement was more procedural, ensuring accuracy in official records and facilitating committee proceedings. By 2025, his scrutiny expanded significantly to encompass broader council budgets, growth proposals, and the financial implications of various services, with a growing interest in environmental initiatives. The most recent year, 2026, sees this environmental focus crystallize into a deep dive into the operational and financial aspects of street cleaning and waste management, demonstrating a clear evolution towards tackling specific, tangible service delivery challenges.

Most Significant Contributions (Recent Years): In 2026, Stewart's leadership as Chair of the Scrutiny Streets & Environment Sub-Committee has been pivotal. His detailed inquiries into missed collections, fly-tip removal, and the cost-effectiveness of initiatives like Blitz Cleans and the Community Compliance Team are likely to lead to tangible improvements in service delivery and resource allocation. His exploration of inter-agency collaboration and resident expectation management in waste issues also points to a forward-thinking approach to complex urban challenges.

In 2025, his rigorous questioning of budgets, growth proposals, and income targets, particularly concerning environmental projects and parking enforcement, likely contributed to greater financial accountability and a more evidence-based approach to service planning. His advocacy for clarity on savings and joined-up working across departments would have fostered a more cohesive and efficient council operation.

Patterns and Consistent Areas of Interest: Stewart exhibits a consistent pattern of detailed scrutiny, a demand for evidence and data, and a keen eye for financial prudence. He consistently advocates for clarity and accountability in council operations. His interest in environmental matters, while more pronounced recently, has been a thread throughout his recent service, evolving from broader initiatives to specific operational improvements in street cleanliness and waste management.

He requested the sharing of information fulfilled in advance of the meeting regarding Blitz Cleans and asked about their cost, return on investment, and the longevity of improvements. Stewart also sought to understand if reduced 'Love Clean Streets' reporting post-clean indicated behavioral change and if officers were confident Blitz Cleans were restoring local pride.

He showed particular interest in environmental initiatives, including Healthy School Streets (HSS), wildflower meadows, and tree planting, often seeking data on their impact and addressing concerns about enforcement and resident confidence. Stewart also delved into parking enforcement, the 'RingGo' system, and Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs), questioning income targets and the reinvestment of enforcement revenue.

Stewart also raised concerns about the Council having too many strategies, suggesting consolidation to simplify processes and reduce overlap, and questioned whether resources would be better utilized in action plan delivery rather than strategy production. He inquired about the potential risks to the Climate Action Plan if commissioners were appointed and non-statutory activities ceased.

He explored the possibility of reinvesting any additional income into expanding the number of Civil Enforcement Officers, questioning if the current number of 40 was optimal for Croydon and how it compared to other boroughs. Stewart sought confirmation on the expected income from the £30 increase in PCNs and assurance that previous PCN system errors had been rectified. He also questioned the confidence in the 26% recovery target not leading to undesirable behaviors from collection agents and asked about the timeframe for responding to customer representations regarding PCNs. Stewart inquired about the process for reviewing appealed PCNs and whether the increase in PCN rates had influenced the likelihood of fines being paid within the initial 14-day reduced rate period. He reiterated his concern about previous PCN system errors potentially jeopardizing predicted income and the confidence in the recovery target.

Stewart also directed officers to investigate a case raised by the Vice-Chair concerning businesses affected by HSS schemes. He noted the significant demand on services due to national legislation and the new London Plan, and questioned how restructures would enable the Council to deliver enforcement functions, which had been removed in the 2022 budget.
