The Council’s Corporate Strategic Plan 2020-25 was adopted in January 2020 and included the council’s key objectives for 2020/21.

The report sought to members approval for the draft 2020/21 Business and Recovery Plan and also to update members on the progress of the Corporate Strategic Plan 2020/21 key objectives to date.

In addition, the report sought the committees endorsement of the framework and blueprint for the council’s approach to recovery of both the council and the borough from the initial phase of the Covid-19, (C19), pandemic.

The report was deferred from the Policy, Resources and Economic Development Committee on the 9th September 2020.

In discussion of the new smaller recycling bags, the Chair asked Mr Campbell to consider that information of these smaller bags were communicated to those properties including flats above retail units or properties don’t have off street areas who would benefit.  Ward members could assist to help create the list of these properties. 

Members requested that a report go to a future appropriate committee in relation to recycling tonnage figures.  This could also include the amount of recycling previously rejected – where the orange recycling bags had been collected, doesn’t mean they were not contaminated and rejected. 

After a full discussion, Cllr Hossack MOVED and Cllr Parker SECONDED the recommendations in the report.

A vote was taken by a show of hands and it was RESOLVED.
