Please note that this meeting may be filmed or recorded by the Council for live or subsequent broadcast via the Council’s internet site or by anyone attending the meeting using any communication method. Although we ask members of the public recording, filming or reporting on the meeting not to include the public seating areas, members of the public attending the meeting should be aware that we cannot guarantee that they will not be filmed or recorded by others attending the meeting. Members of the public participating in the meeting (e.g. making deputations, asking questions, making oral protests) should be aware that they are likely to be filmed, recorded or reported on. 

By entering the meeting room and using the public seating area, you are consenting to being filmed and to the possible use of those images and sound recordings.

The chair of the meeting has the discretion to terminate or suspend filming or recording, if in his or her opinion continuation of the filming, recording or reporting would disrupt or prejudice the proceedings, infringe the rights of any individual or may lead to the breach of a legal obligation by the Council.

The Cabinet Member  noted the report, which sought approval for changes to the Council’s waste service charges.

RESOLVED

The Cabinet Member approved the following new waste service charges for 2017-18:

      I.        Bulky waste removal at £25 for 4 items and £10 per additional item from 24^th July 2017;

    II.        Replacement wheeled bins for refuse and recycling at £30 per bin from 31^st July 2017;

   III.        Green garden waste collections at £75 per annum from 23^rd October 2017, with options for reduced capacity/cost available as set out in table 2 below.

Reason for Decision

Full Council approved the 2017/18 budget and agreed the MTFS (2018/19-2021/22) on 27^th February 2017 following the approval of the MTFS and proposed 2017/18 budgets by Cabinet on 14 February 2017.

Fees and charges relating to existing charged waste services were set out and agreed in an accompanying Cabinet report on 14 February 2017.  However, it was intended that the new chargeable services that formed part of the MTFS would be the subject of a further Fees & Charges report following Full Council approval of the budget. 

The Cabinet Member for Environment is now asked to approve the waste services charges and start dates, as set out in table 2 below.

Other options considered

A range of savings proposals across the council’s services was considered by Cabinet in December 2016 and subject to consultation.

Following the consultation, no other option has been considered, other than to present the charges set out within the MTFS report for formal approval by the Cabinet Member.

As per item 2.
