Decision details

The East London Waste Authority (ELWA), the Borough’s statutory waste disposal authority, is refreshing its Joint Resources and Waste Strategy as part of the preparations for new waste disposal arrangements when its current 25-year Integrated Waste Management Services contract expires in 2027.

The Cabinet will be asked to consider and endorse the draft terms and objectives of ELWA’s revised Joint Resources and Waste Strategy for public consultation.

Cabinet resolved to:

(i)  Approve the release of the Preliminary Draft of the East London Joint Resources and Waste Strategy (ELJRWS) and associated documents to the four statutory consultees (Environment Agency, Greater London Authority, Historic England, and Natural England);

(ii)  Approve the start of the public consultation on the ELJRWS in line with the proposals set out in the report; and

(iii)  Delegate authority to the Strategic Director, My Place, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Public Realm, to approve any appropriate minor amendments within the strategy document and/or changes in the public consultation timeline.
