This was a hot topic for discussion at the house group committee meeting last Wednesday. Our house officer has already leapt into action and writes:
Hello, just to give you a quick update from the regarding the issues with rubbish being left in the above area.
The City of London's Street Environment Officers advise that the A Board (No Ifs, no Butts) outside Cotes was removed in August this year, after being at the location for the standard period of 3 months. The Street Enforcement Officers (SEOs) will arrange to replace it this weekend and follow this up with further enforcement action in this area.
The SEO for the area, will also revisit the Cotes Restaurant to remind Cotes of their responsibility in respect of their customers littering the footpath with their cigarette ends. If they continue to fail to manage this, the SEOs can issue them with a formal notice which will force them into carrying out regular sweeping patrols around the frontage of the business.
In the meantime, I have advised the Barbican Centre to try and assert some pressure on Cotes to manage their customers better. The SEOs advise the sweeping of the area in front of Cotes, is contracted to be carried out daily. The Environment Manager for Amey, the Cleansing Contractor has also been made aware of the complaint and the Street Enforcement Team will therefore be monitoring the area more closely . The Barbican Centre and the SEOs also intend to provide a supply of mini cigarette pouches (disposable ash trays) to Cotes
