Following consideration, it was resolved:

The Committee received a progress report into the adoption and implementation of anti-idling powers.

The Committee considered the following matters:

a)            Signs: Surrey County Council are ready to discuss further with EEBC the amount and location of anti-idling signs and to decide key locations where signage would have the greatest impact. It was suggested Epsom station and local schools would be key locations, and that EEBC would work directly with the latter.

b)            Enforcement: It was confirmed that the powers to enforce anti-idling measures were adopted in October 2021.  Officers in the Environmental Enforcement team will be responsible for enforcement through direct engagement with idling drivers.

Following consideration, the Committee unanimously resolved to:

(1)      Note the updates contained within the report.

(2)      Approve the steps outlined in section 2.5 of the report relating to communication, engagement and enforcement using these anti-idling powers.
