Representation ID: 23157

Respondent: Environment Agency

Representation Summary:

Specific consideration of waste logistics and related impacts in Chapter 9 could also be useful, especially given the central location of the Black Country. Scope for developing
‘Waste by Rail’ options, -rather than by road should be considered as this allows large amounts of waste to be moved longer distances relatively efficiently. Large waste vehicles can also deter people from cycling.
