Cabinet Meeting – 25 October 2023

Urgent Update

Item 13 – Matters Referred to the Cabinet by another Committee – Reference from Housing, Health and Environment Policy Advisory Committee – Notice of Motion – Replacement Refuse Bins

The text below provides an updated (draft) minute of the item’s consideration at the Housing, Health and Environment Policy Advisory Committee Meeting, replacing point 1.5 of the original reference.

Reference from Council - Notice of Motion - Replacement Refuse Bins

As mover of the original motion at Council, Councillor Jeffery introduced the Item and stated that while the policy on replacement refuse bins had been changed since the motion was proposed at Council, an Officer report on the policy and its impact should be brought to the Committee.

The Committee agreed that an Officer report on replacement refuse bins should come to the HHE PAC and it was noted that as decision maker the Cabinet would need to agree to put the report on the forward plan for consideration. Several Members of the Committee questioned when would be the best opportunity to present a report with enough data on the policy. In response the Head of Environmental Services and Public Realm stated that a January report could be achieved, and the Committee agreed to recommend a report in that time frame.

RESOLVED to RECOMMEND to the CABINET: That a report on the Replacement Refuse Bins Policy be added to the forward plan for January 2024.
