To approve as a correct record the minutes of the Joint Waste Disposal Board held on 27 January 2017.

RESOLVED that the minutes of the meeting of the Joint Waste Disposal Board held on the 27 January 2017 be approved as a correct record and signed by the Chairman. 

Arising on the minutes it was noted:

Minute 7 – A formal invitation had been sent to Paul Taylor inviting him to the Board Meeting on the 21 April 2017. Unfortunately he had a diary clash and was unable to make it. Oliver Burt would liaise with Paul and invite him to attend the Board Meeting on the 7 July 2017.

Minute 23 – An update would be provided to the Board at the next meeting in July regarding the work streams that the three Waste Collection Teams had been working on. Officers were making sure that the teams had scope to deal with the proactive work streams alongside the reactive work that was undertaken.

Minute 24 – The posters were going to be reworked with new designs and a moderated message, these would be brought to the Board. It was important for the Councils to communicate with the public about the financial implications of recycling as well as environmental benefits. This was particularly important where service changes were introduced and so residents understand the reasoning for change.
