Corporate Enforcement Policy

Open for comments until Friday 20 February.

We are reviewing the council’s Enforcement Policy to ensure it is fair, transparent, and supports effective regulation.

The council has a duty to enforce a wide range of statutes relating to:

• public health and safety
• quality of life
• preservation of public and residential amenity
• maintenance of the environment
• protection of public funds

All of these activities will be carried out having regard to the general principles of good enforcement practice outlined in our Corporate Enforcement Policy. This policy is in line with the Statutory Regulators Code.

The City Council has had a policy in place since 2014, and it has been reviewed regularly. The last review was completed in 2022 and the policy is now under review.

• Draft Corporate Enforcement Policy

Next steps

Your feedback will help shape the final policy and improve how we work with residents, businesses, and partners.

Your views will help us make sure the policy is clear, fair, and easy to understand.

All comments will be considered and fed into the policy. The Corporate Enforcement Policy will then be published on the council's website.
