Report of the Director of Street Scene

Further to Minute No. 198 of the meeting held on 27 January 2011 and Minute No. 96 of the meeting of the Cabinet Member - Environmental held on 6 April 2011, the Cabinet considered a report of the Director of Street Scene which sought approval to re-tender the Green Waste Composting Contract and establish an interim arrangement until the new contract commences.

RESOLVED:            That

(1)            approval be given to re-tendering of the Green Waste Composting Contract Service with immediate effect;

(2)       the Director of Street Scene be granted delegated authority to make interim arrangements for the delivery and composting of green waste until the new contract commences; and

(3)       it be noted that this is a Key Decision but, unfortunately it had not been included in the Council's Forward Plan of Key Decisions.  Consequently, the Chair of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee (Regeneration and Environmental Services) had been consulted under Rule 15 of the Access to Information Procedure Rules of the Constitution, to the decision being made by the Cabinet as a matter of urgency on the basis that it is impracticable to defer the decision until the commencement of the next Forward Plan due to the need to commence procurement and establish interim arrangements without further delay.
