Agenda item - Chair's Communications

54.1    The Chair gave the following communication:

We are slightly changing the order of the agenda today to accommodate Cllr Muten who has a meeting clash and will be joining us later. So, we will start off with an update on waste management in the city and a potential new collection model, which you are being asked to consider and comment on. This paper will be going to Cabinet tomorrow and any comments from today’s meeting will be shared in advance.  

Next, we will be looking at the Infrastructure Development Plan and the Community Infrastructure Levy, which forms part of the budget setting process. We are being asked to note the plan for future years. 

Our last presentation is on the Highways permitting scheme for street works. The slides provide an overview of how it all works at the moment with suggestions of improvements including a lane rental scheme. 

In the interests of time, can I please request that both those asking and answering questions are as brief and to the point as possible, as we want everyone who wishes to contribute to have the opportunity to do so. We also don’t want the meeting to overrun too much into the evening. Please note that any questions relating to a specific ward will be referred to officers outside of the meeting to ensure the committee is focussed on implications for all wards. In the interests of time and to ensure that everyone gets to contribute, I’m going to ask those presenting to keep their introductions to 5 minutes to allow as much time as we can for questions. Thank you.
