Stephen Finley, Streetpride Assessment/Design Engineer, to report.

-           to report receipt of a petition.

Consideration was given to a report submitted by the Network Senior Engineer which summarised the results of a site visit and the proposed action to be undertaken in response to the receipt of a petition requesting the provision of a salt bin from residents of Low Golden Smithies, Swinton.

The recent severe weather experienced this year had led to requests for the provision of salt bins on roads where previously requests have never been made. However, all requested sites were judged against location where bins were provided to test whether the provision of a salt bin would be reasonable.

Resolved:-  That the lead petitioner be appraised of the results of the site visit and that the request for the provision of a salt bin on Low Golden Smithies be not acceded to.

The following item is likely to be considered in the absence of the press and public as being exempt under Paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended March 2006) (information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular individual (including the Council)):-

Resolved:-  That, under Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, the press and public be excluded from the meeting for the following item of business on the grounds that it involves the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in Paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended March 2006) (information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person - including the Council).

Adrian Gabriel, Waste Strategy Manager, to report.

-           to consider the omission of the express requirement for a Rotherham transfer station from the BDR Waste PFI Project.

Further to Minute No. 131 of the meeting of the Cabinet held on 8th December, 2008, consideration was given to a report submitted by the Waste Procurement Manager concerning the financial appraisal of incorporating a waste transfer station into the Council’s Waste PFI project with Barnsley and Doncaster Council.

The report submitted indicated that a transfer station in Rotherham was not included in the outline business case submitted to DEFRA in 2007, but as a result of the submissions received from prospective partners suggestions were made that a transfer station may be included as part of their proposals.

Following a detailed financial evaluation it was considered not to be financially viable to require the provision of a transfer station in Rotherham as part of the project.

Resolved:- That the express requirement for a Rotherham waste transfer station be omitted from the BDR Waste PFI Project.
