To help tackle the problem head on, and ensure that fly-tipping is at the top of the agenda, the council have planned a mixture of tactics;
The council are also talking to residents in problem areas, to advise on how they can dispose of their household waste efficiently, using our two household waste and recycling centres which are both open 35 hours per week. The 100 day pledge started from Tuesday 20 June, and within the first week of the zero-tolerance approach, 90 incidents were cleared, rubbish which filled the equivalent of 85 skips. The second week saw 111 incidents cleared and enough rubbish generated to fill 155 skips. Households and businesses are being reminded that they have a legal responsibility to make sure that the person taking their waste has a ‘Waste Carriage Licence’. This must be up to date and checked on the Environment Agency website. Residents are also being reminded to only use a reputable and fully licenced business when sourcing someone to remove waste. Householders will be liable if evidence of the illegally dumped rubbish can be traced back to them, and they will face a fixed penalty notice or prosecution. Failure to use an authorised service is a criminal offence. There are many private-rental landlords across the city who have multiple properties, that have become a dumping ground. Action is being taken against absent and neglectful private-rental landlords. Landlords are reminded they are accountable for waste from their vacant properties, and the appropriate methods should be used to clear rubbish. In Burslem a property was recently cleared as part of the 100 day pledge, after the owner left a considerable amount of illegally dumped waste outside their property – The landlord has been issued with a £400 fixed penalty notice.
It’s official the Kay Group will be opening their BP Sandyford Service Station, Convenience Store, Car Washing Centre as well as a Subway & Greggs on James Brindley Way in February 2024. The company which is a family run business has many petrol stations across the north of England, including one at Porthill. The Kay Group say the Sandyford location will be a benefit to the local area as well as offering a variety of job vacancies, which will be advertised on www.sandyfordgoldenhill.co.uk website and it’s Facebook page once they become available. It’s our policy to offer new colleagues joining us a minimum of 16 guaranteed hours each week, but if you’d like to work fewer hours (to a minimum of 12) we have opportunities for this too and would still love to hear from you. The table shows the periods of time in the week we’d like you to be available to work – the availability windows. We will schedule your contracted hours within these times, and you’ll have 3 weeks’ notice of exactly when your shifts will be. If the times you’re available to work match closely but not exactly to the times we are advertising, we’d still love to hear from you. Availability WindowDays From Time To Time To apply for a position follow the link https://uk.indeed.com/cmp/Tesco-40b6123a/jobs Staffordshire Police say as with any period of hot weather we have seen the usual increase in opportunist thefts from Homes and Vehicles via insecure/open windows. Please be aware to not leave windows insecure/open when you are not close by and able to ensure no one can gain access. For crime prevention advice please visit https://www.police.uk/ Staffordshire Police say you may not realise it, but this year is very special when it comes to seat belts as it’s 40 years since it became legal for all drivers to wear a seat belt. Although most people wear a seat belt for every trip, there are still a small number of people who don’t, or who think they’re not at risk on a short familiar route, so we’re promoting the “Every Trip” campaign to encourage everyone to wear a seat belt when travelling in a vehicle, no matter how short the journey. Last year more than 800 people were found travelling in a vehicle in Staffordshire without wearing one. The majority of these seat belt offences, 686, were committed by the driver, and 91% of these drivers were men. Unfortunately, you never know what might happen on your journey, and if you’re involved in a crash you’re twice as likely to die if you’re not wearing a seat belt. A seat belt is designed to keep you in your seat, and prevent or reduce injuries suffered in a crash. A passenger not wearing a seat belt can be thrown forward and may injure other people in the car, as well as themselves. If the collision happens at 30mph they will hit the front seat, and anyone in it, with a force of 30 to 60 times their own body weight. As well as the safety dangers, drivers and passengers can also face an on the spot fine of £100 for not wearing a seat belt and this can increase to a maximum of £500 if prosecuted. Drivers also have a responsibility to make sure any children under the age of 14 are wearing a seat belt, or are in an appropriate child seat if they’re up to 12-years-old or 135 centimetres tall. You can check if you have the correct seat for your child here. By belting up every time you’re in a vehicle you’re helping to keep everyone in your car safer, as well as other road users.
