Decision details

Further to Minute No. 13 of the meeting of the Cabinet Urgent Business Committee held on 17 October 2011, the Council considered the report of the Director of Built Environment on the results of public consultation on the Merseyside and Halton Joint Waste Development Plan Document (DPD) Preferred Options 2 (New Sites Consultation) Report which was undertaken between May and June 2011.

The report also sought approval to a final six-week consultation at the end of 2011 on the document and to the submission of the document to the Secretary of State prior to the formal adoption of the document by each of the Merseyside District Councils in late 2012.

It was moved by Councillor P. Dowd, seconded by Councillor Maher and
