asked Her Majesty’s Government:
Who are the elected mayors in England; and whether they have direct or strategic control over litter functions under Part IV of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. [HL4740]
The elected mayors of local authorities in England are as set out in the table below:
Local authority Elected mayor Bedford Frank Branston Doncaster Martin Winter Hackney Jules Pipe Hartlepool Stuart Drummond Lewisham Sir Steve Bullock Mansfield Tony Egginton Middlesbrough Ray Mallon Newham Sir Robin Wales North Tyneside John Harrison Stoke-on-Trent Mark Meredith Torbay Nicholas Bye Watford Dorothy Thornhill
In addition, the elected Mayor of London is Ken Livingstone.
Local authority elected mayors lead the executives of their councils, and responsibility for direct and strategic control of litter functions under Part IV of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 is an executive matter. The Mayor of London does not have any responsibilities for litter functions.
