Defra Press release
Consultation on options for local authority statutory performance standards on recycling and composting in 2007/08
To ensure that all local authorities contributed to achieving the Public Service Agreement (PSA) target and national recycling targets, the Government set statutory performance standards for recycling and composting in 2003/04 and 2005/06 for each local authority in England.
The individual local authority targets were set as part of the existing Best Value framework which requires local authorities to set challenging targets to improve waste management services.
The consultation paper outlines a basic proposal for the extension of the existing Statutory Performance Standards to the year 2007/08.
