Consideration was given to the recommendations (SSE 21/12) to the Cabinet from the meeting of the Street Scene and Environment Services Advisory Board of 8 June 2021.

Following extensive debate by the Street Scene and Environment Services Advisory Board, it was felt appropriate that Cabinet consider the recommendations of the Advisory Board.  Cabinet noted that procedural concerns were raised following the meeting of the Board. 

An alternative proposal was put to Cabinet, following which the Cabinet resolved that:

(1)        the roll out of recycling to flats, starting with a trial area, commence no later than the 31 August 2021;

(2)        a timetable for the reinstatement of the Saturday freighter service be presented to the next meeting of the Street Scene and Environment Services Advisory Board; and

(3)        the Street Scene and Environment Services Advisory Board receive a report at its next meeting on the enforcement of fly-tipping and littering, including dumping at recycling sites.
