Year: 2021
This report outlines the positive work that local authorities carried out in 2020 focussing on National Enforcement Priorities. Waste enforcement activities largely remained resilient in 2020 with many good examples of multi-agency work and the improved coordination and strengthening of enforcement through the WERLA shared services. The reduced enforcement activities in Water and Air/Noise needs to be addressed considering the decline in water quality and the significant health impacts associated with air/noise.
