c)       considers the proposed variations reflect best practice in the waste industry;

 

d)       delegates authority to the Corporate Director (Operational Services) and the Head of Governance and Legal Services to agree the final terms of the variations to the existing contracts; and

 

e)       agrees that the News Homes Bonus for 2018/19 of £1.333 million be set aside to support the implementation of the revised approach, which include the purchase of 60,000 wheeled bins.
