The Cabinet Member Development and Safety introduced the report which sought permission under Schedule 3A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 to designate land by order on which the council could control the distribution of free printed matter. The distribution of free printed matter was a particular problem (but not exclusively) for the council during raceweek due to the amount of litter it generated. He referred to the charging arrangements outlined in Appendix 2 of the report and the map which proposed the order to cover the entire town centre and the Evesham Road up to the racecourse. It was hoped that, assuming the consultation went well, the order would be implemented by November. He said the council would be in a position to process applications within one week and was confident that it would improve the situation in the town centre.
