Next BAN Waste Meeting in

July 2009 Date TBA

at Newcastle Healthy City Project,

14 Great North Road.

All Welcome!

The Waste Strategy Consultation Extends Again!

After having to suspend the BAN Waste Partnership with Newcastle City Council in January, over the fact that we were only given 10 days over xmas to respond to their report. BAN Waste were given 4 more weeks by the Environment Scrutiny Panel and were presented with our report 'Aiming for Zero Waste' on March 9th. (Link below)

This excellent 64 page document was compiled by committed members of BAN Waste Strategy Working Group, who were commended for this work by Newcastle City Council Scrutiny Panel & Executive Cabinet.

After this the Environmental Scrutiny Panel made the following recommendations to the Executive on March 25th.

Anaerobic Digestion should be included

Incineration should be excluded

Whatever technology is chosen, a range of size options should be tendered for, rather than just 40,ooo tonnes, to allow for changes in waste growth and recycling measures etc

The council should develop an action plan setting out firm costed proposals for further recycling and waste minimisation measures.

The Executive meeting they decided to delay their decision until mid May to consider all the issues raised!
