Members considered a report providing an update on the joint waste collection contract and during which the following key points were made:
Contract Update
The draft Contractor Notice of Change Cabinet report was considered at the CDC Performance and Resources Overview Committee. Members had requested an additional meeting to consider the report in more detail. The relevant WDC Cabinet Members would be invited to attend. The report would be considered by the WDC and CDC Cabinet meetings on 22 and 23 September respectively.
Joint Waste Committee
for Bucks (JWC)
A report setting out options for the Waste Partnership Officer role would be considered at the next meeting of the JWC. The Chairman of the JWC would be invited to a site visit of Agrivert.
Bank Holiday Green Waste Collection
Following a site
visit from the Environment Agency and confirmation from planning received at
the meeting it was noted that garden waste could now be delivered at London
Road Depot on Saturdays.
Inter Authority Agreement (IAA)
The joint county and
district officer working group would be looking at the IAA. An update would be
provided at the next meeting.
Joint Reporting
Several requests to
report waste data jointly had been made to BCC. A further request would be made
with a response deadline.
Service Delivery
Some comments had
been received by Members from residents on the collect and return service about
receptacles not being put back correctly by collection crews. Members were
asked to report specific examples to the Senior Waste Officer for further
investigation.
Street Cleansing
Members expressed
thanks to the officer who provided evidence that was used to successfully
prosecute an individual caught fly tipping at Chiltern Avenue Car Park. Some
joint work across Buckinghamshire authorities was being carried out in relation
to on the spot fixed penalty notices for littering.
Phase Four - Recycling Centres
It was suggested
that the survey used to canvass residents’ views on the removal of bring sites
should be setup to prevent multiple votes being cast by a single resident.
Communications
It was suggested
that it may be helpful to residents if the waste collection calendars were
consistent across the Buckinghamshire. Further work would be done to encourage
residents to use electronic methods. It was also suggested that waste collection
dates could also be included in parish council newsletters and other community
publications. An update on the communications plan would be provided at the
next meeting.
Risk Register
An item on the Bank Holiday
catch up would be added to the risk register.
Work Programme
A work programme for
the Committee was requested to enable Members to identify items for
consideration at future meetings. A site visit of the High Heavens site in High
Wycombe would be arranged for Councillors P Martin (CDC), Mrs I Darby (CDC), G
Harris (CDC), Mrs J Teesdale (WDC), Mrs L Clarke
(BCC), Mrs N Glover (BCC) and N Naylor (SBDC).
