GERPINS LANE RRC UPDATE pdf icon PDF 338 KB

Minutes:

Members received a presentation on the Gerpins Lane Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system.

 

Members were advised that the system was operated by Renewi under contract to the East London Waste Authority (ELWA) and was in place to deter commercial waste being disposed of in cars.

 

Frequent users (7 or more visits in a rolling month) were issued with a letter to contact the council who would verify the nature of their visits and if appropriate approve future access.

 

650 letters had been issued since July out of over 100,000 visits (0.65% of visits) compared to around 450 at other sites. Gerpins Lane had a higher footfall and therefore a higher number was to be expected.

 

There had been a reduction in traffic at Gerpins Lane ? 29,500 visits Oct 2017 to 25,500 in 2018 and there had also been a reduction in waste tonnages at the site 900tonnes in Aug to 240tonnes in September & October respectively.

 

Council officers visited the site at least once a week and Environment Business Support kept a list of access requests and authorisations.

 

There had been no bans so far however the reduction in tonnage may indicate that the system was having an effect in discouraging inappropriate use.

 

Members noted that the system remained under review and officers were in discussion with ELWA and the other ELWA borough officers at monthly meetings.

 

The Sub-Committee noted the overview.
