Workshop findings - an overview
The afternoon session broke into five workshop groups,
which included trips to either the Material Recovery Facility in Portsmouth or the
centralised composting facility at Chilbolton Down.
The other three groups discussed issues for about an hour, and presented their five key
points for development at a plenary session.
The Integra approach to Waste Collection Systems
(two groups)
Group one:
- Flexibility - housing type / socio-economic
- Costs
- Targets - legal framework
- Infrastructure
- politics
Group two:
- Flexibility
- WCA decision
- "one stop shop" waste delivery point
- Co-mingled and MRF
- Service Plans
The Integra approach to Infrastructure Issues
- The need to plan commercial / industrial waste into infrastructure
- Need to establish waste volumes and long term infrastructure to meet waste volume
changes
- Delivery point location needs to relate to land use plan and implications
- Need to investigate energy production from Energy Recovery Incineration / Combined Heat
and Power opportunities.
- Ability to impact municipal waste from 'other' authorities - control within the contract
- Inclusion of waste collection contracts with the waste disposal contract
The Integra approach to Developing Contracts
- Meeting the needs of the WCAs and WDAs through service planning exercises
- Develop an open ended strategy that can be achieved
- Cost (affordability)
- Shared risks (capital costs / revenue)
Feedback and evaluation
Feedback from this event was very encouraging, with
80% of delegates responding to the questionnaire stating that they were satisfied or
better, and 33% that they were totally satisfied.
90% of delegates found the venue and catering satisfactory or better, and 100% were
satisfied with the presentations, with 50% totally satisfied. Everybody who completed the
questionnaire was satisfied with the workshops, and 70% were very satisfied.
The overall presentation and mix, and Peter Jeffs’ talk, "Do you know your
waste?" were picked out as particularly good. There were some negative comments such
as a parking problem (1 delegate), slide text too small (1 delegate), two delegates found
the presentations repetitive and one person commented that all the presenters were white
males.
Everybody found the information provided before and during the event useful, with 83%
finding it excellent during the event.
Delegates were asked which key lessons they were taking back to their organisation.
Replies ranged from Partnerships, Communication, Publicity and Market building, to
"Members need to be ready to meet additional costs", "Need a long term goal
in mind", "Time, planning, commitment, resources are all very important".
Lessons delegates would like to get from the Beacons were: regional co-operation,
mistakes that have been made, knowledge of their approach, problem solving initiatives,
how to get joint working to work practically ie meetings etc, and operational practices.
Other learning opportunities mentioned were work shadowing, and documentation and
report of the project. Details about our work shadowing programme can be found on the
Beacon page of this web site, or by contacting Catherine Weaver on 01962 845593.
