Issue - meetings

RESOLVED:

That the report be deferred to the next meeting of the Committee.

The Chair explained that the item would be deferred to the next meeting of the Committee on 9 January 2024.

Referring to the following sentence in the first paragraph of the Executive Summary of the report, Councillor Mike Peers suggested that the wording “This will require all workplaces, such as businesses, public sector, and charities to separate their recyclable materials in the same way that our households already do” be changed to read:  “This will require all workplaces, such as businesses, public sector, and charities to separate their recyclable materials in the same way that our households should do”.

Councillor Peers also referred to the final paragraph in section 1.07 of the report and exploration of the option of designating one site for trade waste in the future on a chargeable basis, and sought assurance that the designated site would not be exclusive to trade waste to the detriment of domestic waste use. Councillor Peers also asked what the consequences would be for the Council if the possible risks as outlined in section 3.04 of the report were carried out.

Councillor Dan Rose moved the recommendation to defer the item and this was seconded by Councillor David Coggins-Cogan. 

RESOLVED:

That the report be deferred to the next meeting of the Committee.
