Decision details

To inform Cabinet of the re-profile of the Kirklees Resource & Waste Strategy 2021-30 and seek approval for the update.

When formulating the Resources & Waste Strategy, an extensive engagement process was conducted in Autumn 2020 and the Strategy incorporates the findings of this exercise.

This is an update of the 12 month and 5-year commitments within the original strategy. The update has been formulated with further internal engagement, public scrutiny and discussions with DEFRA. This is primarily to reflect the changes to Central Government legislation and funding timeframes.

3)    That approval be given to undertake the procurement of the Reuse Shop Scheme, and that authority be delegated to the Service Director for Highways and Streetscene, in consultation with the relevant portfolio-holders and the Service Director for Finance, to authorise the award of a contract to the successful bidder following the procurement.
