Issue - meetings

To provide the Committee with an update on the additional consultation exercise in the west area to determine likely levels of take up and make recommendations for the future of the service.

(Report attached)

RESOLVED that

the trial service ends and that the Council revisits the garden waste collection service at a later date as a possible shared service.

The Committee received the latest update on the trial Garden Waste Collection Service. Officers reported the findings of a consultation that had been undertaken towards the end of 2010 with potential and existing customers in the west of the Borough. The level of customer feedback was very low and the views expressed ambiguous over the future provision of the service.

Members were content that the service had been trialled, customer surveys subsequently carried out and that the outcomes of these should inform the decision to discontinue the trial service. It was proposed that the Council revisit the provision of garden waste collection at some point in the future as a possible shared service.

RESOLVED that

the trial service ends and that the Council revisits the garden waste collection service at a later date as a possible shared service.
