Having considered an open officer report, and a presentation by the Cabinet

Member for Environment and Transport, Councillor Patrick Codd, the Mayor

and Cabinet agreed that:

(1) the results of the public consultation carried out on the draft Waste

Management Strategy be received; and

(2) the Waste Management Strategy 2021/31 be adopted.

In introducing the report Councillor Codd reported Lewisham had made

continuous improvements in recycling figures over the last 10 years but he

acknowledged there was still a great deal to be done. He indicated about 60%

of general waste could be recycled. A quarter of the borough’s population

were not doing any recycling and of the three quarters who were, almost a

quarter of those were depositing contaminated waste in their green bins.

Having considered an open officer report, and a presentation by the Cabinet

Member for Environment and Transport, Councillor Patrick Codd, the Mayor

and Cabinet for the reasons set out in the report and by a vote of 7-0 of

members in physical attendance:

RESOLVED that:

(1) the results of the public consultation carried out on the draft Waste

Management Strategy be received; and

(2) the Waste Management Strategy 2021/31 be adopted.
