This Council believes that the people of Leeds deserve a truly ambitious waste strategy that delivers against their increased desire to recycle and fully contributes to tackling the recently declared Climate Emergency.

Council notes with disappointment the July Executive Board report ‘A Waste Strategy for the City of Leeds’ that entirely fails to deliver against these objectives or set out a strategy that will improve the services available to Leeds residents. Council is also concerned by the breakdown of the refuse collection service over the summer months, inconveniencing residents in a number of areas across the city.

This Council therefore calls for an urgent report to Executive Board that responds to the problems with refuse collection experienced over the summer, and calls on the administration to bring forward a Waste Strategy for Leeds that takes a lead on this agenda, delivering the enhanced collection services that residents want and deserve.
