Torbay Council, Plymouth City Council and Devon County Council have resolved to work together to seek a long term solution to their duties for the disposal of residual controlled waste by procuring a contractor who will construct, provide and operate facilities for the treatment and disposal of such residual waste for the Authorities and by managing the resultant contract on behalf of the Authorities.

In line with the South West Devon Waste Partnership Joint Working Agreement, which requires Torbay Council’s two representatives to be Members of the Cabinet, normally to include the Cabinet Member responsible for Waste, and allows for a Member of the opposition to attend all meetings as an observer.
