Decision:
That the draft consultation response attached at appendix B to the report of the Head of Environment and Public Realm be agreed and submitted as the Council’s response.
Minutes:
The Head of Environment and public Realm introduced the report setting out a draft response to Kent County Council’s (KCC) Waste Disposal Strategy.
It was explained that the priorities outlined in the Waste Disposal Strategy, attached at appendix A to the report, closely aligned with those of MBC. There was a good relationship between the two authorities, as evidenced by the Mid Kent Waste Partnership.
During discussion it was put forward that there was a need for an additional household waste recycling facility in Maidstone. KCC had stated that the current household waste recycling centre based at Tovil would be at capacity within five years, however feedback from residents and other users of the site suggested that capacity had already been reached.
RESOLVED: That the draft consultation response attached at appendix B to the report of the Head of Environment and Public Realm be agreed and submitted as the Council’s response.
