QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC To answer any written questions received from members of the public no later than 5 p.m. two clear working days prior to the meeting – for this meeting the deadline is 5 p.m. on Friday, 18th June 2021. Minutes: There was a question from a member of the public, Mr Darron Abbott, for the Leader:
“Please could you let me know how I apply for exemption from being issued penalty notices for fly tipping or littering by Boston Borough Council or any of it’s associated agencies.”
Response from the Leader: “Thank you for your question. There is no exemption process from being issued penalty notices for fly tipping or littering; the Council adopts a proportionate approach to enforcement.”
Mr Abbott’s supplementary question was: “The answer seems to confirm that some of the residents of Boston are more equal than others by this I mean it appears it depends who you are, so if you are an employee of the Council or a friend of an officer you do not get fined, but if you are X (91) of X road and you leave a sleeping bag next to a recycle bin you do is that correct, isn’t that discrimination?” Response from the Leader: “From my perspective there is no discrimination and, to my knowledge, everything is dealt with in a fair and proportionate manner. I believe there were some labels spilt out and I believe an apology has been issued.”
