Scrutiny Committees - what they have done for you

Making us greener...and cleanerScrutiny logo

Mother and kids recycling

You may recall back in the summer of 2008, a new grey bin recycling scheme was introduced across the borough.  Since its introduction, the recycling rate has improved by 98 per cent and we have already exceeded our targets for the year.

What you might not know is that the work of Scrutiny Committes helped to make that happen and they are continuing to work hard to make our borough greener and cleaner.  In early 2009 a further set of recommendations put forward by the Economic Development and Environment Committee were agreed by Cabinet with more improvements planned in the coming year.
