Material Resources Strategy Workshop 6 The Winchester
Guildhall hosted MRS workshop 6, which was an opportunity for stakeholders to
discuss a draft overall philosophy and principles
for managing
resources in
Hampshire over
the period
to 2020. The main topics for discussion were the emerging preferred
solutions for unavoidable waste and minerals, and the assessment criteria for,
and broad identification of, sites for recycling and unavoidable waste
facilities. There was also an
abridged session of this in the evening at the Hampshire County Council
offices in Winchester. Both sessions were a
great success as frank and open discussions was held on the above issues
enabling the MRS to move to the next stage.
A key outcome was the recognition that a range of new recycling and
recovery facilities will be needed if recycling / recovery is to be maximised,
use and landfill reduced and net self-sufficiency achieved. The next stage in
the development of the MRS is that a draft document will be produced ready for
February 2005, when it will be presented to stakeholders for comment before it
is finalised. The intention is
that this document acts as the primary local reference for future work on the
Minerals & Waste Development Framework, the Project Integra Municipal
Waste Strategy and the Natural Resources Initiative.
An information event is being arranged for the end of January / early
February 2005 and as soon as we have finalised a date for this we will post it
on our website. Details of all other workshops and the progress the MRS has been making is detailed on this website. This can be found at: www.mrs-hampshire.org.uk |
