Over concerns that PCC are running short of their target set in their Change plan (strategic document that the council gets grants of if they hit the targets set) In this document PCC have set a target of 52% of waste is reused or recycled by 2012/13. With the council now only hitting 37% this target is slipping away and with fines of around £200 per ton ( for example when i done the day on the bins in Hay we collected 12 tons and only 2 tons was recycled) PCC is facing troubling times if they don't move forward quicker and the residents will be left to pick up the bill again.
QUESTION TO COUNTY COUNCILLOR K.A. HARRIS, PORTFOLIO HOLDER FOR WASTE, CLIMATE CHANGE AND WELSH LANGUAGE FROM COUNTY COUNCILLOR G.W. RATCLIFFE
Figures released by the Welsh Government on Municipal Waste Management, January-March 2011 show that Powys County Council have slipped in the league table of Annual municipal Waste Reuse, Dry recycling and composting rates, by local authority from 41% in 2006/07 with the Welsh average then being 28% to 37% in 2010/11 with the Welsh average now being 44%.
In this time Powys County Council has slipped from 2nd to 20th in the league table. What plans has the Cabinet member put in place to bring Powys County Council in line with other authorities?
So lets talk about that White elephant in the room and get on with it NOW
