Minutes:

The Head of Environment and Public Realm introduced the report as the current Mid Kent Waste contract would expire in October 2023. Waste Consulting had been commissioned to carry out waste modelling to outline the options available to the Committee. The draft objectives and their respective weighting were outlined in paragraph 1.9 of the report and would need to be considered at each stage of the decision-making process.

 

Particular attention was drawn to the four key areas and draft timetable for the decisions that needed to be taken within the next 12 months. The four key areas were the future of the Mid Kent Partnership, whether to outsource all services, whether to outsource street cleansing and recycling ambitions with each area explained by the Head of Environment and Public Realm.

 

The offer of a member briefing was made to the Committee, which would likely take place in September 2020, which aimed to provide members with further information and explanation to the work carried out by Waste Consulting.

 

RESOLVED: That

 

1.  The draft objectives, as set out in paragraph 1.9 of the report, to form the foundation of the future decision-making process, be agreed;

 

2.  The four key areas for decision be noted; and

 

3.  The draft timetable for decisions and implementation as set out in paragraph 1.27 of the report be noted.
