Purpose

In line with the key dates introduced as part of the Government's coronavirus roadmap, plans have been developed to make changes to operating practices, and lift certain restrictions, that were introduced as a result of the co-vid pandemic to provide for the safe operation of the council's recycling centres.

In order to deliver these plans whilst continuing to maintain the safest possible conditions for staff and customers, temporary changes are proposed to the council's Access and Inert Waste policies.

Decision

The Leader of the County Council and the Cabinet Member for Technical Services, Rural Affairs and Waste Management approved the recommendations as set out in the report.

This decision should be implemented immediately for the purposes of Standing Order C29 as any delay could adversely affect the execution of the county council's responsibilities. The reason for this is set out in the report.
