ES 20109

The introduction to this report was presented by the Waste Strategy Manager. Members were reminded that on the 16th of July 2018, the Executive approved a capital budget of £6.5 million for infrastructure works across a range of depot locations. The Waste Strategy Manager outlined the main areas of infrastructure works that needed to be completed. Members were briefed that procurement was already underway with respect to some specific remedial works in order to address immediate safety and operational requirements. 

A Member referred to section 7.8 of the report which dealt with the proposed programme and contract period. He asked when Members would be briefed next with respect to an update on the progress of the project.  He also noted that a property review was proposed that would be looked at by the Executive and he asked when this would take place. The Waste Strategy Manager responded that an update would come back to the Committee following the procurement of the construction contractor. It was also proposed that an update be provided to the Committee to report on how it was planned to minimise the disruption to waste services during the period of the works. The matter concerning the operational property review was referred to the Director of Environment for a response. His understanding was that the operational property review was due to be looked at during the second quarter of 2022. It was made clear that this was a separate matter to the depot capital infrastructure works. 

RESOLVED that the Committee approved the recommendations that were being referred to the Executive for decision.
