Issue - meetings

          The Board received a report of the Operational Director – Community and Greenspace, which provided details on the progress in developing a Liverpool City Region Zero Waste Strategic Framework in co-ordination with partner Liverpool City Region (LCR) local authorities. The report sought approval to adopt the key principles set out in the LCR Zero Waste 2040 Strategic Framework, to minimise waste related carbon emissions through actions to prevent, reduce, recycle and re-use waste. A copy of the Strategic Framework document was attached as Appendix 1.

          The Strategy would provide the strategic link between the partnership work being undertaken across the LCR to tackle waste and also the collective commitment to achieve the Halton’s net zero ambitions.

          RESOLVED: That the Board

1)    approve the principles set out in the LCR Zero Waste 2040 Strategic Framework (attached as Appendix 1) to reduce waste related carbon emissions; and

2)    approve continued partnership working with Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority (MRWA) and the other LCR local authorities to deliver action to meet our individual and collective climate targets and objectives.
