Agenda item

To deal with questions, if any, received under Council Procedure Rule 11.

Councillor Vivienne Chapman, the Environment & Health Portfolio Holder provided a written response to a question submitted by Councillor Rodney Bates under Procedure Rule 11. The question concerned the accuracy of recent media reports of an alleged dispute between Amey and the 4 authorities in the Joint Waste Contract, how Amey was performing within Surrey Heath in terms of the latest available key performance indicators, and whether the Council accepted the accuracy of this data.

Councillor Bates asked a supplementary question on how the situation had arisen where there was uncertainty on the data supporting the contract and whether the appointment of a consultant to review the robustness of the data would incur additional costs for this Council.  Councillor Chapman agreed to provide an answer in writing.
