Questions to the Mayor of London – answered at on 13 September 2019.
What progress have you made working with the Boroughs to submit their Reduction & Recycling Plans?
London waste authorities were split into three phases for developing their Reduction and Recycling Plans (RRPs) by 2020. Boroughs in Phase 1, 2 and 3 were asked to submit their RRPs in March 2019, June 2019 and December 2019 respectively.
I have received RRPs from 19 London boroughs as scheduled. I am due to receive RRPs from the remaining 14 boroughs by the end of December 2019.
My officers have reviewed every RRP that has been received and have provided recommendations on how the plans may be improved or where further work is required. The London Waste and Recycling Board (LWARB) Resource London programme has made support available to all boroughs for developing their RRPs.
