Excerpt from Cabinet Meeting held on 11 September 2024 AI GENERATED SUMMARY
The Cabinet agreed to recommend to the full council that it approve the introduction of time-banded waste collections across 31 streets in Tower Hamlets, and the introduction of new Household and Commercial Waste Regulations. The new regulations will set out the requirement for residents and businesses to present their waste for collection within two, two-hour periods of the day, one in the morning and one in the evening, and will be enforced through the issuing of fixed penalty notices.
The Mayor, Mr Lutfur Rahman, said that the new rules would help to “reduce illegal dumping” and that he, “want[ed] a street scene that we can manage”.
The new arrangements are due to come into effect on 1 December 2024.
