Councillor Steve Evans presented for approval a revised Black Country Regulators Operating Framework and requested delegated authority to agree minor amendments to the Operating Framework following future bi-annual reviews.

The Regulatory Framework covered trading standards, environmental health, environmental crime, waste enforcement, highways enforcement and licencing unauthorised encampments.  It ensured there was consistency of advice and treatment of business and residents across the four Local Authorities in the Black Country. The latest bi-annual review of the framework recommended that private sector housing be included in the scope of the framework.

1.    That the revised Black Country Regulators Operating Framework 2021 be approved.

2.    That authority be delegated to the Cabinet Member for City Environment and Climate Change, in consultation with Director of City Housing and Environment to agree minor amendments to the Black Country Regulators Operating Framework following future bi-annual reviews.
