FOI Request - Scrap Metal Dealer Licences

Request 101002636403

I would like to make a Freedom of Information (FOI) request for the following data:

• How many scrap metal dealer licences (site and collector each) did you issue in 2016?
• How many scrap metal dealer licences (site and collector each) did you issue in 2019?

In addition, under the same FOI, I would be grateful if you could tell me:

• How much were your licences (mobile and collector each) in each of these years? (2016/2019)?
• How many visits to scrap metal sites have your officers undertaken since 2016?

Response 04-12-2020

2016      -              2 metal dealers, 0 itinerant metal dealers
2019      -              2 metal dealers, 0 itinerant metal dealers

In accordance with section 17 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 please be advised that we do not have full information on old fees but can provide the following –

1/4/2014             -              metal & itinerant metal   -              £430
1/4/2018             -              metal & itinerant metal   -              £619
19/20                   -              metal & itinerant metal   -              £638
20/21                   -              metal & itinerant metal   -              £670

There is an inflationary increase every year.

No visits have been undertaken by Council officers.  Visits would come under the Health and Safety Executive or SEPA.
