Issue - meetings

As detailed in the recommendations.

Councillor Thomas introduced the Proposals for Infrastructure Improvements at Standard Yard Waste Transfer Station (WTS) report which outlined the proposals for funding the development of the WTS, and sought approval to progress with the project.

            An opportunity had arisen for the site to be extended to enable the WTS to operate under cover on one single site and to increase the size of the site, which would enable future growth and capacity, as well as improve efficiency and environmental compliance on site.  In turn, the new facility would enable the Council to deliver an increase in recycling rates, reduce material contamination and increase the quality of the recyclable materials, thereby maximising potential income for recyclable materials for the Council.

RESOLVED:

(a)       That the proposals for developing the Standard Yard Waste Transfer Station be noted; and

(b)       That the proposed funding bids and investment required for the improvements to Standard Yard Waste Transfer Station be approved.
