Share your views on the council's draft Enforcement policy

Wiltshire Council is investing additional resources to build the capacity and expertise of its enforcement teams. Alongside this, policies are being reviewed to ensure the council’s approach is transparent, accountable, proportionate, consistent and targeted. You can read the policies here.

An assertive and coordinated approach to enforcement will help to increase compliance, prevent further infringements and deter other offenders, in line with our Business Plan commitment to prevention and early intervention.

An umbrella enforcement policy has been drafted, with several accompanying service specific enforcement policies developed in line with this. As well as clearly and transparently communicating our approach to our communities, these policies will be used to inform service specific processes and training, and support coordinated action within the council and with other public service partners.

We would welcome any comments on these policies and accompanying service measures before further changes and formatting takes place.

Please consider in particular:

• Are there areas you think we can go further or strengthen our approach in the enforcement policy?
• Are there any specific changes you would like to see to the wording in the policies?
• Are there any changes to the proposed performance measures you would wish to see?
