Councillor Webber-Jones entered the meeting at 6.34pm.
A member asked whether dealers had to provide information about the area to be used for storage of scrap metal and in response it was noted that the only address they were required to submit was the registered site office.
It was noted that it was not a requirement to have a scrap metal dealers policy and not all districts in Leicestershire had adopted one.
A member was concerned about stolen metal being sold to dealers but in response it was noted that cash payments for metal were illegal and sellers had to produce identification.
In response to a member’s question, it was noted that authorised collectors must have their licence on display in their windscreen. A member requested a list of licenced dealers for quick reference and it was noted that there was a public register on the website which contained this information.
It was moved by Councillor Cartwright, seconded by Councillor R Allen and
RESOLVED – the scrap metal dealers policy be RECOMMENDED to Council. |
