RESOLVED:
(1) That a variation to the waste contract with Urbaser, to retain the existing weekly collection service for residual waste from MOP in accordance with appendix A be approved:
(2) That an increase in the revenue budget for 2019/20 of £68k to fund these additional costs be approved:
(3) That the £164k increase in expenditure budget required annually to retain weekly collections from MOPs will be incorporated in the draft revenue budget for 2020/21 be noted.
REASON FOR DECISIONS: To prevent resident dissatisfaction, Contamination of waste streams, side waste and costly enforcement action against landlords and managing agents for non compliance that would likely occur in the event fortnightly collection of residual waste at MOP was implemented in accordance with the waste contract obligations.
