No petitions were received on Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) and responses were provided to public questions regarding these as follows:-

 

 

 

·                    This was the first opportunity for the Committee to properly discuss this issue as the meeting on 19th July 2012 had a very full agenda.

 

 

 

·                    No full-time jobs at the HWRCs had been replaced by young people put forward by the A4E organisation.

 

 

 

·                    The income declared from the HWRCs was £300,000, which had been split equally between the Council and Veolia who operated the sites.

 

 

 

·                    The Council had made the decision to reduce the opening hours of the HWRCs as part of its budget and it was the Council who ultimately paid the bill for these to be open.
