Mr Jobson stated that since the introduction of the two weekly refuse collection he had requested a large refuse bin as the bin provided for his family size was insufficient for the waste they produced. He confirmed that his family also recycled as much as possible.

Officers confirmed that Mr Jobson had the correct size bin for his family size and that the 240 litre bin was for families of 5 or more. Officers agreed to forward Mr Jobson a copy of the policy on bin allocation according to number of family members.

Councillor Merrett addressed the Panel regarding agenda item 5 (Clementhorpe Flood Barrier – Aquabarrier Pilot Scheme) (minute 5 refers). He indicated that he welcomed the report but that his major concern was the height of the proposed barrier which he felt should be raised to give 1 in 100-year protection. If the recommendation was approved he asked Members to keep under review the provision of a barrier of increased height.
