Summary of discussions
The Parks and Community Facilities
team provided the local board with their monthly
update.
·
A board member asked whether there is a change
to the response rate for problems during summer when a lot of staff are away.
Staff said that contractors bring in seasonal support for responding to
problems out in the community along with pre-emptive measures (extra bins) to
mitigate any potential issues during summer.
·
Staff noted that they will be meeting with Citycare
to respond to the board members issues that have been previously raised.
·
A member asked about illegal dumping along
foreshore as there is a lot of dumping next to the rubbish bins. There was a
request for staff to investigate if the bins are necessary as it might be
promoting illegal dumping. Staff noted that previously they drew upon RFS
data for Papakura to investigate a similar issue. Staff said the same type of
data is available for Manurewa and they are happy to have a workshop to
investigate this further with the board.
·
The Chair raised concerns over contractors not
reporting illegal dumping and instead moving it out of the way while they do
their job (i.e. mowing). Staff clarified that contractors are obligated to
report the dumping to waste solutions. Alternatively, if it is reported to
PCF they get in touch with Waste Solutions.
