Council had before it the report of the Cabinet Member for Zero Carbon Oxford on the work of the Oxfordshire Environment Partnership including the report to Cabinet and the Oxfordshire’s Resources and Waste Strategy for Oxfordshire 2018-2023.

Councillor Hayes introduced the report and answered questions.

He drew Council’s attention to the reasons and the proposed arrangements for re-instating the Oxfordshire Waste Partnership. Most Oxfordshire Councils were of the view that waste management and recycling was a key part of reducing the impact on the environment and climate. The Oxfordshire’s Resources and Waste Strategy for Oxfordshire 2018-2023, adopted by Cabinet, had been prepared to improve waste management in response to the Climate Emergency.

Council noted the report.
