Background

The Gloucestershire Resources and Waste Partnership (GRWP) is a partnership between the County and District Councils of Gloucestershire. These are Cheltenham Borough Council, Cotswold District Council, Forest of Dean District Council, Gloucester City Council, Gloucestershire County Council, Stroud District Council and Tewkesbury Borough Council.

The GRWP is an informal partnership that provides countywide leadership and a framework for joint working on resources and waste related matters. GRWP members work together to optimise waste management services across the county and are committed to the development and implementation of a Gloucestershire Resources and Waste Strategy. This draft strategy succeeds the Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy (JMWMS) developed and adopted by each authority in 2007.

Why do we need to review the JMWMS?

The current JMWMS was published in 2007 with an intended lifespan up to 2020. Many of the objectives of this strategy have significantly progressed, but the legislative and policy landscape of waste management has also changed.

A new strategy will allow us to identify key priorities moving forward and incorporate objectives that will address the challenges that lie ahead, whether these relate to areas of continual improvement or step changes in policy and legislative changes.

In response to the declaration of a climate emergency, made by all partnership authorities in 2019, a new strategy must also strongly support the delivery of our net zero objectives. Waste itself forms one of the key themes of the Climate Leadership Gloucestershire strategy.
