Matters Arising

Plastic Wrapping:

A Member explained that the Ward Newsletter received by the residents in the Ward of Cripplegate had been wrapped in plastic and could the issue of plastic packaging be addressed. The Town Clerk explained they had spoken to the Head of Publishing who had advised that the new print management company had been instructed to use biodegradable wrapping and a paper insert had been used to alert readers that the wrapping was recyclable. The Head of Publishing had advised they would discuss this further with the printer. It was added that the wrapping used for Cityview was now biodegradable.

The Chairman suggested that all communications be biodegradable and questioned whether the insert was needed.
