At the Environment Committee on 16^th September 2014 it was agreed that a review should take place on other recycling sites, and that a report should be presented to the Committee on 12^th November 2014.

The Council currently provide nine bring sites, which are as follows:

Information was sent out to all Members on 2^nd October 2014 requesting details of any issues with sites within their Ward, and a request was made at the Parish Council liaison meeting on 22^nd September 2014 for the same information. 

There has been two comments; Blackmore feel that their site has deteriorated since the closure of Crown Corner, and there has been ongoing issues with the site at Mountnessing, who on 13^th October, at their Parish meeting agreed to close the site.

There are other high profile sites that Officers constantly have to deal with at key locations around the Borough.  It is felt that due to their high profile locations they could be considered for closure, as they do not represent the Borough in a good way.  These are; Hunter Avenue, Town Hall, and William Hunter Way.

Cllr Faragher MOVED a recommendation to defer this item, which was SECONDED by Cllr Russell.  After a full discussion the motion was withdrawn.  A Motion was MOVED by Cllr Lloyd and SECONDED by Cllr Sapwell to received the recommendations set out in the report subject to the following amendments 2.1 and 2.3.

2.1           That the Hunter Avenue and William Hunter Way Recycling         Sites be closed and that the Town Hall Recycling     Site be           relocated within the Town Hall grounds.

2.2            Agree that all other sites are monitored, and where                                     appropriate, through discussions with local Ward Members,                   Chair and Vice-Chair and where appropriate Parish                                     Councils, that the Head of Streetscene is given delegated                         authority to close further sites.

2.3            That the Mountnessing site future is reviewed with the                              Chair and Vice of Environment Committee and Ward                               Members on future options.
