Additional documents:

Minutes:

Consideration was given to the report of the Head of Public Protection which sought the approval of a Charitable House to House Collections Policy.

 

The Head of Public Protection introduced the report and stated that the Policy had previously been considered by the Committee back in June and was in front of the Committee again for final approval following consultation.

 

There had been 2 responses received to the consultation regarding concerns about cold calling homes of vulnerable residents in darkness. While the House to House Collections Act 1939 that underpinned the Policy did not allow for prohibition of this but amendments had been made to the Policy to advise against this.

 

AGREED:

 

That the Charitable House to House Collections Policy be approved.
