Assaults on refuse collectors

Requested Mon 08 July 2019
Responded  Fri 12 July 2019

In the last financial year 2018/19 how many incidents did your authority record where refuse collectors were assaulted by members of the public while carrying out council duties? Please give a brief description of the circumstances of the incident.

NOTE: By refuse collectors I mean all employees whose main duties are involved in the collection of rubbish (all types) from homes and businesses with your authority.

NOTE: If the refuse collection duties are carried out by a third party company hired by the council the information is still HELD by the council, because it is information held on your behalf.

Response

No assaults have taken place during years 2018/19.
