Minutes:

The Cabinet considered a confidential report from the Corporate Director, Neighbourhood and Planning which provided confidential details in relation to the report considered at minute no. 31 above.

 

Resolved:

 

(a)        As detailed at minute no. 31 above.

 

(b)       That the confidential report be noted.

 

Reason for Decision

 

The Council could incur substantial additional costs if the targets for diversion of waste from landfill are not achieved.  Proposing the signing of the contract with Hills for the delivery of 60,000 tonnes each year of MSW to the proposed MBT plant at Westbury and the subsequent delivery of at least 20,000 tonnes each year of SRF to an energy recovery plant reduces this risk.
