EPA section 46 notices

Waiting for an internal review by Cardiff Council of their handling of this request.

Dear Cardiff Council,

Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (as amended), section 46 notices may be issued. I would like to know the total number of these notices issued during the last completed financial year, and the number per ward, please.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

Sally Swain

Dear Ms Swain

Environmental Information Request Provide the Information

Thank you for your request under the Environmental Information Regulations
2004 about section 46 notices..

We have considered your request and enclose the following information:

The data regarding these notices is detailed below but it is also
important to emphasise that a section 46 notice is not the only tool we
have in order to take enforcement action. Fixed penalty notices can also
be issued under section .87/88 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990
(as amended), so depending on the reason for your request I would just
like to add that these figures alone do not shed much light on the overall
actions and functions of the enforcement team,   on a ward by ward basis.

Ward Number of s46 issued
Cathays 862
City Centre 4
Cyncoed 2
Penylan 1
Trowbridge 1
Total 870

We supply this information based on your original request. If this
information does not answer your enquiry or if you feel we have not fully
understood your request, please contact me to clarify your exact
requirements.

You can find out more about the Act from the Information Commissioner at:

Dear Cardiff Council,

Thank you for the information. However, I had previously requested a review of how my FOI request was handled. The lack of response was disappointing. Is a review underway?

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing, again, about an internal review of Cardiff Council's handling of my FOI request 'EPA section 46 notices'.
