Agenda
1 MINUTES
To confirm the Minutes of the Annual Meeting of the Council held on 21st May 2024 (copy attached).
2 MAYOR'S ANNOUNCEMENTS
3 STANDING ORDER 8 - QUESTIONS
To receive any questions by Members submitted in pursuance of Standing Order 8 (3).
4 NOTICE OF MOTION - MEGA SKIPS
To consider the following Notice of Motion, which has been submitted by Cllr Peter Cullum pursuant to Standing Order 9 (1):

“This Council notes growing alarm amongst residents over proposals to put “Mega Skips” on residential streets throughout the Borough – which risk attracting fly-tipping from across three counties into our Borough and pose significant health and safety risks.

Furthermore, this Council notes resident concerns about the lack of transparency on the scope and cost of introducing mega skips across Rushmoor, and that proposals could undermine efforts to improve recycling rates.

The Council will therefore:

-   Engage in prior consultation with all households in a street before any skip is placed there, ensuring that if a significant number of objections are made that the proposal will not proceed.

-   Conduct full health and safety, policing and highways impact checks on each site being considered for mega skips.

-   Clarify the full list of items that would be permitted and prohibited for the mega skips.

-   Publish an assessment of the costs of introducing mega skips, and whether officer time needs to be diverted from enforcement or environmental maintenance activity to supervise the mega skip days.

-   Publish an assessment of potential impacts on recycling rates.

-   Refer the proposals to PPAB for urgent revision and development.”
