Issue details

Purpose of report: To provide an update on work undertaken to meet the aims of the strategy and focus the development of the strategy 2012-2015 in response to current position, trends, legislative changes and economic pressures.

Members are asked to:  Note the strategy’s focus on Zero Waste York as the driver for future policies and service provision. Approve the direction of travel 2012 -2015. Note the update on the work undertaken by waste services.

This report was put back from January to February to allow additional budget proposals to be investigated further as they would impact on aspects of the strategy and would need to be included in the strategy. The report was then slipped to March because, as part of the budget savings, there was a need to review three major policies which would have a material effect on the future waste strategy and time was required to complete these policy reviews.

This item has now been withdrawn from the Forward Plan as there are a number of smaller policies which will need to be developed which will feed into the over-arching report.
