Provision of Waste Weekends
Minutes:
RESOLVED:
That the Cabinet agree to extend the current contract with Powerday PLC for the provision of ‘Waste Weekends’ at Tavistock Road, West Drayton to the London Borough of Hillingdon for a two-year period from January 2023 to December 2024 and at the estimated cost of £2,165k for the period.
Reasons for decision
The Cabinet Member for Residents’ Services introduced the report, which Cabinet agreed, to continue the popular waste weekend service at Tavistock Road, West Drayton and ensure residents living in the south of the Borough to continue to have easy access to a local site for the disposal of bulky waste and recycling.
Alternative options considered and rejected
Cabinet could have undertaken a competitive tender or closed the service, but discounted these due to the lack of available sites and the negative impact on both residents and the environment.

Private - Whilst the Cabinet's decisions above are always made public, the officer report relating to this matter is not because it was considered in the private part of the meeting and contained information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the Authority holding that information) and the public interest in withholding the information outweighed the public interest in disclosing it in accordance with Section 100(A) and paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12 (A) to the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended). |
