We have been monitoring Amber as best we can given present resource difficulties (at times over the last two months I have been down to one HEO, one temp. and one member of the administrative Support team on duty to deal with all aspects of our work - including the processing of an average of over 120 skip and scaffold licences we are issuing each week, all site inspections, vegetation & responses to complaints etc. etc.). I have only one record of a recent infringement at the Amber site that I would argue as potentially actionable (given previous rulings by Legal team). However, this occurred during the prosecution (upheld) against this business over waste issues. We are monitoring, as best we can, to see if the recent Court action has concentrated the owner’s mind at all. If genuine, potentially actionable breaches are discovered we will pass matters to our Legal Team again. Unfortunately, all incidents I have seen during my own recent visits have been very minor infringements, the pursuit of which could, given the recent prosecution, lead to accusations of the Council targeting this site while apparently ignoring or tolerating worse breaches by other businesses. We will continue to monitor as best we can under the present circumstances
