Programme Report & Risk Register Paragraph 3 - Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information) Minutes: Paragraph 3 - Members considered a report providing an update on the joint waste collection programme and during which the following key points were made: Contract The Committee received an update on the contract and Members looked forward to the signing of the contract by the end of July 2013. Bio Waste Infrastructure The County Council had successfully procured and mobilised
new arrangements for disposing of food and garden waste. The Committee
recognised the significant work carried out by the County Council's IAA An update on the Inter Authority Agreement (IAA) was noted. Phase 1 (CDC roll out) An update on the Chiltern roll out was noted. The roll out had gone well overall with 36,000 properties changing to a new collection regime. Crews had continued waste collections into the evening for missed bins and positive comments had been received from residents in relation to this. There had been a significant increase in waste calls and it was anticipated that the volume of missed bins and calls would reduced over the coming weeks as the service bedded in. Learning points from the Chiltern roll out would help inform the process in Wycombe. It was suggested that the improved recycling rates for the new service be publicised. There was a discussion on the provision of additional recycling bags to 850 properties unable to accommodate wheeled bins due to uneven surfaces or access restrictions. The supply of additional bags had cost implications for Chiltern and it was suggested that this be discussed at a future meeting when costs for the various options had been identified. Phase 2 (WDC roll out) The Committee received an update on the roll out in Wycombe. The Residents' Welcome Pack would be despatched on 29 July 2013. Delivery of containers was due to take on 2 September 2013. The colour toning of the Wycombe collection calendars had been adjusted to improve colour differentiation in response to comments received during the Chiltern roll out. There was a discussion on the accumulation of the rubbish in the River Wye. Phase 3 The planning of the roll out in communal collection areas would take place once phase 2 had been completed. Risk Register Risk 7 would be deleted as the Chiltern roll out was now almost complete. The rating of Risk 14 would be increased from green to amber. An update on Risks 11, 12 and 18 was received. A vote of thanks was made to the Senior Waste Officer,
