The Context: Transparent and Consultative Working Practices
The regional waste planning process is an inclusive process; transparent and
consultative working practices are at the heart of the project.
This website was established to provide details of the past, current and future
work of the Regional Waste Group, giving access to electronic copies of agreed
documents and giving the opportunity for any person or organisation to engage
in any consultation process.
At the outset the Regional Waste Technical Group was established in order
to support the work being undertaken by the Coordinating Authority. Participation
in the Regional Waste Technical Group has been open to relevant regional-level
stakeholder bodies since early work on the first RWP. Consultation with other
stakeholders and the wider public is undertaken when relevant.
The Consultation Period
An extensive public
and stakeholder consultation on the Consultation Draft Regional Waste
Plan 1st Review document [hyperlink to file 02] is taking place for 10 weeks
between 15 October 2007 and 24 December 2007.
This formal consultation period on the RWP 1st Review is necessary in order
to communicate the regional level issues and explore stakeholder and public
opinion on the alternative choices at this level. The implementation of the
RWP will have a significant impact upon individuals, communities and businesses
for many years to come. It is considered paramount therefore that all those
interests have a reasonable opportunity to take part in a dialogue about the
content of the RWP. The final Regional Waste Plan 1st Review document will
be published in 2008 after taking into account the feedback received during
the consultation period.
The following documents are the subject of consultation:
• The Consultation Draft
Regional Waste Plan 1st Review document • The Environmental Report on the
alternative strategic waste management Options |
Consultation activities will include:
| • A
website with an on-line survey • Press releases • A high level stakeholder meeting • An industry day • A series of three public focus group meetings • The offer to each Unitary Authority of one meeting within their area with a group of their choosing • Random postal survey |
