'As a community there’s clearly more that could be done' says councillor
Blackburn with Darwen Council has missed two key targets for recycling the borough’s household rubbish its leader has revealed. Cllr Phil Riley described the poor performance as ‘disappointing’ as he revealed the statistics to fellow councillors.
This showed that of the 38 for which measures were available 24 were rated “Green” as on track and performing well, 10 were rated “Amber” where delivery is on track and currently being managed. Four were rated “Red” where performance is, or likely to be, off track.
“The majority as you can see from the report are green, there’s a number that are amber and there are four that are red. It’s obviously disappointing that there’s reds in that that indicates a failure. “One the number of foster carers I think there’s a lot being done to try and mitigate that. The two that are disappointing I think are the two on recycling.
