It’s not a waste of time
Is how we make provision for the management of waste in Warwickshire a total waste of time?
The people of Warwickshire are being asked to express their views on the future planning policy on waste issues.
Warwickshire County Council’s Waste Development Framework will be part of the local planning framework required under new legislation. The county council is inviting people to become involved in the next stage of the process to create this new policy.
Warwickshire County Council is holding a series of consultation events including library drop in sessions, an industry forum and a workshop for the public in order to widen involvement and raise awareness of the issues related to sustainable waste development in, and around, the county.
Members of the public are invited to attend a one-day Waste Development Workshop on Saturday 7 October 2006 and are asked to register their attendance by telephoning Derek Greedy on 01926 412455 by 26 September 2006.
Cllr Chris Saint, the county Cabinet member with responsibility for planning policy, said: “Forum members are being asked to understand, discuss and challenge the ‘Waste Core Strategy: Preferred Options and Proposals Paper’. It is important that we seek views to ensure that we put the right policies into the Waste Development Framework that will be used to decide the outcomes of future planning applications.”
In preparation for the meeting, Warwickshire’s ‘Waste Core Strategy: Preferred Options and Proposals Paper’ may be viewed online. Please visit: http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/wastecorestrategy for details.
