Minutes:
Consideration was given to a report, which requested the Executive Member to approve the continuation of funding for the Friends of St Nicholas Field kerbside recycling collections and for additional funding to March 2008 for recycling to 2,000 properties.
Officers reported that the Friends of St Nicholas Field had just won the Biffa Climate Conscious Award for 2007 for their recycling scheme.
Members confirmed that the Friends had provided an excellent service for a number of years, which was very well received by residents. It was at present a weekly service but residents had been surveyed with a view to changing to fortnightly.
The Executive Member stated that this was a good example of partnership working which meant that budgets could be planned well in advance to provide continuation funding where necessary.
