Minutes:

The Cabinet Member for Waste, Recycling and Cleansing reminded Cabinet that, on 24^th November 2016, they had approved the introduction of alternate weekly refuse collections for household waste and, in addition, had agreed to procure a replacement rear-loading refuse fleet to deliver the revised service.

Cabinet was therefore now requested to approve the award of a contract for the supply of a new refuse fleet following a procurement exercise. This would be funded from the approved capital allocation of £3,000,000.

Upon receipt of the new fleet, the existing fleet would be disposed of on the best terms achievable.
