A pilot scheme is expected to be up and running in the borough’s three town centres by April 1, it has been confirmed.
Members of the council’s Direct Services Committee were told last week the introduction of the scheme has been delayed by “procurement issues” but is now said to be “back on track”.
The council has said that an external company will be “working alongside the existing enforcement team patrolling identified hotspots to increase the detection of offenders and get improvements in general cleanliness”.
