• This also supports the County Plan (2020-2024) which has a
priority to minimise waste and increase reuse, repair and recycling
and to invest in low carbon projects.

reserve as outlined in the resource implications of the Cabinet
report ‘To set out the councils new Integrated Waste
Management Strategy and Waste Handling Pilots’
• There is no conflict with any council policy, strategy or
service plan.

commercial service team in the business case for the purchase of
£7,500 worth of nappy stock to increase the Hereford Nappy
Library loan offering.
