Minutes:

Members received a report which had been prepared in response to a petition presented to Council by Councillor Gunnell, which called for the extension of recycling to all terraced areas of the City and to all developments of flats to ensure that people who lived in these properties received the entitlement to recycling services as other parts of the City.

The report set out details of the trial recycling scheme in the Groves area, which would provide a sound basis for planning implementation of the Executive decision to fully rollout recycling in remaining areas from 2009.
