South Gloucestershire Council’s consultation on the future of its waste collections is open until January 7Plans to reduce black bin collections in South Gloucestershire are set to be halted by new government guidance.But the government is set to require local authorities to collect waste at least once a fortnight.
The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs' plans were announced last month, a "minimum service standard" of fortnightly black bin collections will be implemented as statutory guidance to councils, alongside a weekly food collection. Defra said additional funding would not be provided as authorities were already expected to provide the service, paid for through council tax.
Responding to Defra's announcement, councillor Leigh Ingham said: "These announcements fail to acknowledge the funding crisis facing local authorities across the country nor do they specify where funding will come from.
