Issue - meetings

To consider a report of the Service Development Manager and to provide comments to the Portfolio Holder for Customer and Community Services.

The committee received a report of the Service Development Manager which set out a revised version of the Recycle for Dorset policy.  The committee was invited to make any comments on the revised policy to the Portfolio Holder for Customer and Community Services who would be taking a decision in respect of the revised policy.

Councillors considered the revised policy and points were raised in the following areas:

·            The position for a number of properties in the St Leonards and St Ives Ward was noted.  These issues were recognised and liaison would be undertaken with residents affected and reasonable adjustments made on a case by case basis

·            Provision for recycling and refuse facilities should be part of the planning process and taken into consideration by developers

·            Provision for the recycling of batteries was considered

·            Information on how items not collected by kerbside recycling could be dealt with, should be provided by the council.

It was proposed by S Jespersen seconded by C Jones

‘Minded to’ Decision

That the Place and Resources Overview Committee support the changes made to the revised version of the Recycle for Dorset policy (appendix 2 of the report);

That the Place and Resources Overview Committee support and provide comments as set out above, to be taken into consideration by the portfolio holder in their decision to approve the revised version of the policy.

The Executive Director of Place, having heard the debate, confirmed the ‘minded to’ decision, under delegated powers on behalf of the informal meeting of the Place and Resources Overview Committee.
