Issue - meetings

Mrs Shepherd outlined that the Kent Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy (KJMWMS) was set by the Kent Resource Partnership.  This was designed to ensure waste was managed effectively in Kent.  The KJMWMS complemented other MBC strategies, and focussed on ensuring that waste was largely kept within Kent.

In response to a question from the Committee, Mrs Shepherd stated that treating waste locally was positive, as it ensured that residents could be engaged in the process.  This in turn promoted further recycling.  Furthermore, through engagement with housing developers to shape future developments, recycling could become a fundamental part of a community.

RESOLVED: That the refreshed Kent Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy 2018/19 to 2020/21 is adopted.

Voting: Unanimous
