Public Consultation – Draft Resource and Waste Strategy

On Friday (1 December) Flintshire County Council launched a public consultation on a draft Resource and Waste strategy. If adopted, the strategy aims to improve the recycling performance in Flintshire from 61% to 70% and deliver the Council’s ambitions of becoming net carbon zero by 2023.

We are encouraging our residents to read the draft strategy and then complete a short questionnaire to share their views.  You can find further information, along with a copy of the draft strategy and online public consultation questionnaire here: https://www.flintshire.gov.uk/en/Resident/Bins-Recycling-and-Waste/Resource-and-Waste-Strategy-for-Flintshire.aspx. Paper copies of the draft strategy and questionnaire will also be available at the Connects Centres and Household Recycling Centres throughout the consultation period.

Please share this information widely with your residents and encourage people to have their say, this will help to inform the final strategy. The Council’s communications team will be issuing a range of public comms throughout the consultation period, please feel free to use these to share within your community.

During the consultation period, there will be several drop-in sessions for residents to find out more and talk to our team. These are as follows:

Connects Centres

Household Recycling Centres

The team will also be at Wepre Park, Connah’s Quay on December 8 celebrating Wales Climate Week. We welcome everyone to this event, which will be held in the Garden Room from 10am to 2.30pm.
