Proposed Changes to the Kent Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy |
Careful consideration was given to the proposed changes to the Kent Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy as set out in the joint report of the Director of Health and Housing and the Cabinet Member for Environmental Services. It was reported that the implementation of the refreshed policies was designed to create opportunities for councils to avoid future costs as a result of partnership working. Local implementation of specific policies would require dialogue and agreement between partners and would only proceed if a clear and sound business case was deliverable. In addition, the way forward, as set out in Annex 2 of the report, would see income from recycling increase and make good use of the Allington Energy from Waste Facilities to deliver better financial and environmental value from tackling residual waste. RECOMMENDED: That the proposed changes be endorsed by Cabinet and the revised Strategy adopted by Council. *Referred to Cabinet |
