Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Waste and Recycling Review – Your views wanted
I am on the Environment and Housing Scrutiny Panel this year and one of our reviews will be on waste and recycling, in particular the fortnightly collection scheme introduced earlier this year. Phase 3 will be introduced in the remaining areas of Tottenham in October and the purpose of this review is to identify what can be learnt from phases 1 and 2, what has worked, what hasn’t worked, and help identify how the council can encourage greater compliance and behavioural change among certain resident groups to reduce residual waste and encourage more recycling and whether the new arrangements are providing value for money for the council and residents.
The panel will be gathering evidence from a number of sources and my part is engaging with local residents to identify areas where there are still problems, areas where the new arrangements are working well and any other issues such as whether the new arrangements are creating an eyesore on our residential streets. I will be looking round the ward to identify issues and it would be very useful if residents let me have their views, particularly as these new arrangements have had a little time to bed in and settle down. The panel is also hoping to do some site visits as part of the evidence gathering process.
Scrutiny has always been an area where both parties work incredibly well together and I hope that by working together on this review we can avoid some of the issues that have dogged the initial phases of the roll out.
Your views would be very welcome here or to me at karen.alexander.haringeylibdems@gmail.com by Tuesday 11th September 2012 please to allow time for the evidence and views to be collated.

Also Karen, if you click the tag I've added under your post, you'll find plenty more material. It would even be interesting to total up how many views and comments there have been across all the posts on this issue. That's a pretty good indicator of the interest it has generated.

I can report many instances of inadequate service. Non collections. Promises to pick up then not done etc etc. I live in N17 which is a bit beyond the ladder so outside your area. I find the whole thing quite exasperating. I have told my local Councillor and also the West Green Residents Assn are on the case.

What ever happened with this? Did you find anything that wasn't working? Are we getting value for money from the new arrangements? Is anything going to change?
