On behalf of Members, the Chairman thanked the staff of the Council, for the work they had achieved over the last few weeks against very stringent conditions.  He commented that they had done a magnificent job.  At this point the Chairman also commended the Council’s contractors, particularly Suez who had cleared the waste from the streets of the District very efficiently and achieved a very good service to the Council and its residents.  He referred to the increased tonnage being around 20 / 30%.

The Chairman referred to the following events he had attended since the last meeting of the Council.  He made particular reference to an event at Anglian Ruskin University he had recently attended with over 100 Royal Air Force Cadets / Essex Wing Air Training Corps.  He commented how these young people were an inspiration.
