Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority (also known as Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority) had a public meeting on Friday 21st June and video of that meeting can be watched above. The two councillors representing Wirral Council on it are Cllr Tony Norbury (Labour) and Cllr Steve Williams (Conservative) who were both present.
The public meeting discussed the reason why reserves were £2.5 million lower than expected which was to do with a payment expected in the 2018-19 financial year that hadn’t happened.
MWDA also discussed and agreed to a contract variation request from Halton Borough Council involving changes to Johnson’s Lane (Widnes) Household Waste Reception Centre and Picow Farm Road (Runcorn) Household Waste Reception Centre. The changes requested by Halton Borough Council involved a reduction in opening hours to 9.00 am to 5.00 pm, a reduction in the number of annual trips under the Vehicle Permit Scheme from 12 to 6, the introduction of charges for waste that isn’t household waste and restricting use of the Household Waste Reception Centres to Halton residents only.
Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority has also recently responded to my requests for copies of various invoices relating to the 2018/19 financial year during the 30 day public inspection period. Batch 1 (invoices 1-95) can be viewed here and batch 2 (96-190) here.
