Issue - meetings

The Cabinet considered a report on alternative arrangements for publicising the details of refuse and recycling collections, including the green waste service, during the winter months.  The proposals included the delivery of a calendar covering the period 1st December 2007 to 30th November 2008 to every household in the District by 1st November 2007.  In addition publicity would be given by way of “Together Bromsgrove”, advertisements in local newspapers, notifications would be sent to Parish Councils and full use would be made of the Customer Service Centre and the Council’s web site.

It was also reported that consideration was being given to the amendment of the period of suspension of the green waste collection and that a further report would be submitted shortly on the options available.

As part of the discussion on this item the Chairman allowed a member of the public to ask a question on the green waste collection arrangements, to which the Head of Street Scene and Waste Management gave a response.

RESOLVED: that the proposals as detailed in the report for publicising the arrangements for refuse and recycling collections during the winter period be approved.
