Decision Maker: Executive

Outcome: Recommendations Approved

Is Key Decision?: Yes

Is Callable In?: Yes

Date of Decision: September 9, 2025

Purpose: To review and approve updated versions of the following policies - NNC Waste Recycling Policy; NNC Litter and Fly tipping Strategy & NNC Environmental Crime Enforcement Policy

Content: RESOLVED   KEY DECISION   That the Executive:   a)   Approved the Waste & Recycling Policy and Strategy for tackling litter & fly-tipping   b)   Delegated authority to the Executive Director of Place and Economy in consultation with the Executive Member for Assets, Waste to undertake minor amendments and updates to the policies as necessary.     Reasons for Recommendations –   •     To ensure North Northamptonshire has an agreed set of waste and recycling policies and street cleansing policies to ensure clarity for residents on the service standards to be delivered: The recommended course of action is the most cost-effective. •     To enable enforcement action to be taken where appropriate: To accord with legislation or the policy of the Council.   Alternative Options Considered – As all the polices have been approved by previous decisions of the Executive, it would be possible to make no changes or updates to the policy. The impact of this would be that the Council’s waste policy would have some gaps in terms of the responsibilities of service users and the mandatory requirements under the legislation which have evolved since the Executive last approved the documents.
