Report of the Service Director, Transactions and Universal Services seeking approval to retain the current opening hours across the year for the HWRC and not implement reduced opening hours and day closure agreed on 16 January 2016.

DECISION MADE:  (CAB 17/18 19456)

On consideration of the report of the Service Director – Transactions and Universal Services, the Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport agreed the following:

(i)  To retain the current HWRC Opening hours and that the approved implementation of a reduction in HWRC opening hours by 2 hours per day and closure of the network on one day, which was due to start on 1 October 2017 be cancelled. 

(ii)  To note the opportunity for monitoring the impacts of the recent introduction of charges for non-household (some items that are classified as construction waste) and trade wastes.  This will also create opportunity to monitor changes taking place at Hampshire HWRCs in the future and assess impact on Southampton’s HWRC. 

(iii)  That authority to make decisions to change opening hours/charging mechanisms/service delivery at the HWRC as required in future, be delegated to the Service Director – Transactions and Universal Service, following consultation with the Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport.
