Issue - meetings

Andrew Pau reminded the committee that questions had been raised in the previous meeting regarding strategy. Work had been recirculated in terms of national resources, waste strategy consultation and the response from the Warwickshire Waste Partnership. The committee was informed that the new government strategy will be heavily based on a circular economy with an emphasis on producer responsibility, deposit return scheme and consistency with collection services. This had been delayed but the second round of consultation and a detailed consultation should be released late 2020 or early 2021 and the government will be running summer workshops. Andrew Pau continued that as the strategy will be radical, the partnership agreed to run base linework with Paul Frith; who had worked with other authorities. Covid-19 delayed this but as things normalise, Paul Frith will be contacted to continue this work again.
