Issue - meetings

In accordance with the request made under Minute No. 33/07 of the last meeting, a report was submitted setting out (i) the reasons why Best Value indicators for both Street Cleanliness and Waste Collection were worse than the national trend, and (ii) the criteria of the Green Apple Environmental Best Practice Awards 2007.

RESOLVED that the report be noted.

RECOMMENDED that Cabinet be requested to instruct the relevant Portfolio holder to work with both the Chief Executive and the Head of Street Scene and Waste Management in seeking dates and times from the County Council of  their highway verges mowing programme, in order to better co-ordinate litter-picking operations.
