Essential to do all we can to achieve carbon neutrality as soon as possible. Well done for your 2028 and 2030 targets.

Grateful to be consulted on the New Waste Local Plan

Positive on:
• Greater emphasis on re-use and recycling
• Carbon Neutral by 2030

Wish to make the following comments:
• No mentions of villages, and nothing south of Clifton.
• Local recycling facilities being permitted in community areas requires clarification that it’s ‘bring sites’ only.
• Plan must be deliverable.

• Transport assessment prior to start 'with particular emphasis on the impact of villages along likely transport routes'
• Use of alternative modes of transport - rail, water, pipeline
• The highway network needs to be suitable to accommodate vehicle movements
• Minimise the traffic impact on local communities
