Matters Arising

Minute 22/JW Mobilisation Update

It was reported that crews could now see details of missed collections on their rounds via the In-Cab Technology.  Updates were provided in real time however the frequency of data downloads was dependent on the 4G network coverage in an area.

Minute 23/JW Joint Waste Contract Performance Report – Quarter 3

In an effort to increase the number of drivers, Amey had taken the decision to increase wages.  Alternative recruitment routes were also being explored for example recruiting HGV drivers currently serving in the Army but nearing the end of their service period.

Analysis of crew waiting times to enter waste transfer sites had found that waiting times of 30 or more minutes were not uncommon and Amey was working to identify a long term solution to this problem.
