Advice

Councillor Banks introduced the report. This was an internal policy, setting out the key principles for how officers carry out events and risk assessments.

Councillor Anderson said from his role as Portfolio Holder for Environmental Services, he was pleased to see the requirement for event organisers to provide bins for litter.

Councillor Williams said this collates many policies into one and was pleased to see that it bans the release of balloons and sky lanterns on council property.

Recommendations agreed.
