A ban on single use plastic bags will be considered by the Pittsfield City Council in January.
The ordinance and rules subcommittee voted to table a vote on the ban at its Tuesday meeting to give businesses a chance to respond to its most recent draft. This frustrated council Vice President and ward 6 councilor John Krol.
“It’s only been five years since this was first presented to the city, so the idea that somehow people are not aware – if they’re not aware at this point, they’re really not paying attention,” said Krol.
The subcommittee will bring up the ban again at its January 7th meeting.
