Many thanks to the 25 authorities that participated in the review: @bathnes, @BristolCouncil, @BCPCouncil, @CheltenhamBC,@CotswoldDC, @CornwallCouncil, @DevonCC, @DorsetCouncilUK, @ExeterCouncil, @FoDDC, @GlosCC, @MendipCouncil, @MidDevonDC, @ndevoncouncil, @NorthSomersetC ...
In addition, the report found that addressing the #ClimateCrisis has surfaced as a far higher priority for #authorities than noted in previous waste efficiency reports. View the report here: https://t.co/EgRNEg82p8
This figure includes charging for non-statutory services such as green collection. The report found securing savings remains a driver for local authorities to achieve efficiencies whilst maintaining high-quality public services, and performance enhancement wherever possible.
The 9th regional review for #waste management #efficiencies in the #SouthWest has is now published "Delivering Waste efficiencies in the South West" found innovation in the South West delivered savings & generated income in excess of £22 million p/a. 👇 https://t.co/NzqNoVbRKM
Investment for renewable energy projects is becoming increasingly popular to meet climate targets & generate income to support service provision. #WEBINAR "Generating success: #LocalGov with renewable ambition" will take place on 5 June More information: https://t.co/IwZOuQYumg
We will be hosting a masterclass webinar in June, in partnership with @AuroraER_Oxford, to help #localgov explore the important issues when considering a strategy for investment in renewable energy. Contact Millie.Amas@local.gov.uk for more info #RenewableEnergy #Investment
