Purpose

The Mayor declared a waste emergency at full Council in November
2022. There were concerns that the waste services were failing, and
that the overall performance was poor and lacked visibility.
Further briefings to the Mayor and MAB detailing the initial
findings and the Waste Improvement Programme was approved on 13
June 2023.

December 2023, the Mayor approved an investment of £5m for
2024/2025.

On 16 April 2024, the Mayors Waste Improvement Programme (MWIP)
delivery plan details were shared with The Mayor and the subsequent
action was to provide a quarterly update to MAB.

The report provides details of the MWIP with focus on delivery
timeline, plans for the key arterial routes and how this investment
will be embedded into the on-going long-term improvement of the
service.
