Our aims and approach
North Tyneside Council produced the ‘Our North Tyneside Plan’ back in 2018 which sets out our bold ambitions for making North Tyneside an even greater place to live, work and visit.
This policy feeds into the key themes and priorities of the plan and provides guidance to Officers, Businesses, Residents and the wider public on a range of options that are available to achieve compliance with the plan and all legalisation enforced by North Tyneside Council.
The Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime & Policing Act 2014 together with amendments to other key legislation such as Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005 brought about a need to revise the existing policy.
In providing the framework principles of enforcement in respect of all powers available to the Council, this ensures that any enforcement action is clear, concise, transparent, accountable, proportionate, consistent and targeted; to ensure a responsive, effective and value-added service.
The Council will have the ability to enforce as appropriate in line with the relevant enforcement legislation.
