Changes to Glass Recycling Bank Collection Arrangements (Item 16 of the Work Plan) PDF 124 KB Additional documents: Minutes: The Committee considered a draft Cabinet Report “Changes to Glass Recycling Banks” and a report of a Task and Finish Group which had investigated the proposed changes set out in the draft report.
The Committee examined, via a question and answer session, the following aspects of the two reports:
• The proposed locations and volume of skips proposed for each location • The reasons for the proposed changes and why some areas had not been included in the proposed new scheme • The benefits and disbenefits of the proposed changes • The feasibility of introducing a glass collection service like the service provided by East Hampshire District Council • The communications strategy required to help introduce the changes to the existing glass bank collection
The Committee was advised by Councillor Kennett, the lead for the Task and Finish Group, that he was satisfied that the recommendations of the Task and Finish Group had been addressed.
The Committee sought assurances from the Officers and the Cabinet Lead that before the proposed changes would be submitted for approval:
(a) the feasibility of siting a new skip at the Lidls’ site on Hayling Island would be investigated and
(b) any discrepancies in the draft report would be corrected.
The Committee considered that the Council should take advantage of the ward councillors’ local knowledge to identify the best locations and number of skips required for each location before it approved the proposed changes.
RESOLVED that Cabinet be recommended that ward councillors be consulted on the locations and volume of bins to be placed at each location before the changes to glass recycling banks are considered by Cabinet. |
