Cllr Aidan Mundy introduced the report.

Recommendations 10, 9, 8 and 4 have future scope and food recycling is another opportunity to explore.

In response to Panel Member questions, Cllr Mundy commented;

·         The Task Group would like to agree with officers the specific metrics to measure success.

·         The Council use various levers to encourage use of own cups by staff rather than plastic, including price reduction on hot drinks.

·         Cabinet will receive the report and, if the recommendations are agreed, they will ask the relevant officers to take this work forward by producing a report/action plan.
