Option 1 - To undertake an environmental improvement scheme as set out in the attached report.
Option 2 - Not to undertake the proposed environmental improvement scheme. However, there has been an ongoing problem with rubbish being dumped to the front and side of the two three story blocks in Groom Park, which are numbered 38 to 60 Groom Park. To resolve these issues, the Council is proposing to carry out an environmental improvement scheme to create a dedicated refuse area to the rear of these flats and to take this opportunity to review the use and allocation of the individual garden areas.
