1

Consulted with my staff and own knowledge of lack of complaints

No

None as there isn’t any incidents

Very difficult to enforce but should be jointly enforced if possible

Public Health

It appears to be a small problem in Doncaster nonetheless it is still an issue that is seen to effect residents and visitors of Doncaster, therefore enforcement should be taken.

I would perceive that Doncaster town centre would receive the greatest majority if not all of the problems in relation to this issue.

None, however working within an enforcement team we face many incidents of littering and issue fpn to people who litter.

It would fall within our remit very efficiently as we issue fpn’s and prosecute for fly tipping, littering etc.

Residents have never raised this as an issue but I am aware small pockets of younger people do do it.

No

Scanned our complaints system and there are none

Identification of people who spit and enforce via the existing blue book system.

SLHD East/South

21/2/12

8 / 10

It is a big issue in that it happens a lot, however, only scored 8 rather than 10 due it not being as anti social incident as fighting, swearing, verbal abuse etc

Yes – spitting is much more frequent where gangs of youths congregate and is more of an issue where high incidences of fly tipping, anti social behaviour etc. – also an issue around school gates and school runs near comprehensive schools

None

Need to get our powers on dog fouling and littering sorted first – on spot fines etc. then we could have delegated powers in the same way

SLHD Central

21/2/12

Between 8-9 in certain areas whilst other areas 6

Town Centre are high around Balby Bridge estates whilst other surrounding areas are lower.

Yes more people living with the area of Town Centre

 No record

Observation and assisting DMBC in reporting.

SLHD North

21.2.12

5/6 

All officers have different views and there is a difference in how big the problem is with each officer 

Yes - the main areas of concerns in all officer's opinions is the town centre (shopping area).  In all areas the areas of concerns and mainly witnessed are playing fields and parks and especially football fields 

None other than if a tenant specifically reports this as a breach of tenancy 

Not sure but we would normally feed intelligence into DMBC and the Police 

DMBC private Sector Housing

22/2/12

8

Office located in Central area (East Laith Gate) therefore high footfall locally could account for high scoring as opposed to a possible lower scoring for a residential area.

See answer to question 2

No data kept. Response is anecdotal.

None as we are involved with private rented housing (and therefore, tenancy related ASB rather than general ASB).

Enforcement Team

(Regeneration and Environment)

22.02.12

2

We have had no complaints or public reaction to this issue

No

None

If a byelaw were to be introduced our Enforcement Officers could enforce this along with street littering duties. However I feel the offence would not be easy to enforce

DMBC Area Manager – NORTH

3

As an active SNT, spitting is not an issue that has been reported to the team or SNT members requiring or requesting action.

Yes. I perceive that spitting may be more of a noticeable issue in town centres across the borough due to the numbers of daytime people and visitors in these locations.

None

The area teams would probably be required to undertake this as part of their enforcement duties.

South Area Team

27/02/2012

1

Having discussed with other members of staff who work and live in different locations within the borough. It was collectively agreed that no one has ever identified an issue.

It may be more relevant within the Town Centre due to the high footfall, but individually although all agreed it is a disgusting habit, it is not something that is witnessed very often.

None, again I discussed with team and am not aware of any Data relating to this. I have also interrogated the systems used for recording such data.

It would be difficult to enforce but an educational role could be adopted by the Area Teams

Communities
