Inquiry on waste - evidence session with the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management
Which is why the four-nation approach, the pause for the four-nation approach to catch up, and having the EPR in place first—. Can I just—? Regarding the EPR coming into place and replacing the waste management grant for local authorities, how clear is that…

Just to mention my concern, if you're adding extra processes, and extra costs, therefore, when they're already doing the kerbside sorted, you're not actually gaining anything, are you?

Do you think that the current levels of investment in infrastructure are adequate for this, or do you think there's something else that's needed?

Inquiry on waste - evidence session with the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management

Thank you. It's been raised with me that holiday parks, where residents are still putting the waste all together and they're having to sort through it, and concerns about enforcement by NRW if there's any contamination. I was reassured that NRW wouldn't be…

Good morning. What’s been the experience of the waste sector in the roll-out of workplace recycling regulations?

Yes. Okay.

Inquiry on waste - evidence session with local government representatives
Sorry. It was just regarding the on-the-go recycling. I think that's why DRS would come forward and be in its element, and do more good, because many people already are doing kerbside sorting, and it's not of benefit. But when you come to a place like Cardiff…

Can I give my apologies? Joyce and I had to sub at another meeting, and I really wanted to talk in this today, so thank you for letting me speak. If you've covered anything already, let me know. I don't know if you've touched on the value of kerbside sort as…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Economic policy
—in a race to the bottom. This is a good example of how market capitalism doesn't work. It was once a good and fair job, once one to be proud of, and a community asset. Now, posties have to walk 13 miles a day and are still told to leave mail behind. People…

Welsh Conservatives Debate: Economic policy
Diolch. In the last 14 years, we've seen the Tory UK Government make vicious real-terms cuts to the building blocks of economic growth, dismantling public services—health, social care, education, housing—wages and local authority budgets. I was horrified to…
