Protection of the Environment Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

Our purpose is to create a proper waste management infrastructure, which will be to the benefit of all, including visitors and the tourism industry. To put this beyond doubt, I propose, in section 35, to insert a new section 75 into the 1996 Act, giving local authorities explicit powers to charge for waste services they provide. This section provides that the making and waiver of such charges shall be an executive function and is intended to facilitate the levying of charges on a per use basis.
