Climate Change and Environment Cabinet Portfolio

Last updated: 15 August 2022

Challenges and risks

Climate Change and Environment services have identified a number of challenges and risks, these include:

  • long term investment in Climate Change Strategy – we need to build funding into the budget as the existing budget is fully committed
  • management demands following housing growth (waste collection north, household recycling centres)
  • reliability of Alternative Fuel waste collection vehicles within the council’s term
  • the combined impact of Brexit and COVID on the availability of HGV Drivers
  • the value of recycling collected kerbside – likely to impact delivery of recycling initiatives
  • fly-tipping – continuing to enforce particularly in South Bucks
