Following recent conversations with a number of local authorities, we have come to understand that it would be useful to arrange a webinar on those aspects of the Consistency Consultation that cover commercial waste, collaborative procurement and waste zoning. In particular these areas relate to Proposal 22 and questions 55 – 61. Attendees will be able to ask questions during the webinar with answers provided on the day or shortly afterwards, depending on numbers asked.
In this webinar we will discuss areas of the policy proposal that could present opportunities to improve local commercial collection services or may potentially have a detrimental impact on council collections.
We would like to invite you to the short webinar on Thursday, 24th June 2021, 15.00-16.00.
