  1. ELDC Craig Leyland gave an overview of the main issues facing ELDC for devolution, and an elected Mayor representing all 10 councils in Lincolnshire. There are three consultation documents on the ELDC web site for residents to make comments by 8th August.

A resident requested information about charges for bin collection and

concerns about flytipping. It was stated that there were no plans to

charge for the black orrecycle bin but an increase charge for the garden

waste was possible.

Thequestion of fly tipping was raised due to possible reduced collection

of household waste bin. The chairman asked why does Lincolnshire

County Council at their Kirkby on Bain site takes all types of plastic and

ELDC only takes PET and HDPE plastic. It was suggested that LCC and

ELDC work together, this would increase recycling collection and less going

to land fill. ELDC are aware of the many placeswithin ELDC area that are

fly tipping concerns.
