ER156/16 Chairperson’s Business.

With the permission of the Chairperson a Member of the Sinn Fein grouping referred to the community planning meetings held throughout the City the previous week the main purpose of which was to elect an interim Chairperson for each of the groups. He expressed

Page 15 concern at proceedings in the Pilot’s Row Centre where serious fabrications had been made by Independent Members. Council employees and elected representatives had also been verbally abused which would be reflected in the minutes relating to that meeting. He expressed further concern at the disgraceful treatment of an elderly lady who was a prominent community figure who was in attendance at that meeting. He stated that this behaviour was totally unacceptable and referred to the need for an apology to be issued by the individual responsible. He made reference to the significance of community planning particularly in terms of local community development.

The Member stated that at one of the community planning meetings an Independent Member of Council advised one individual to withdraw their nomination for the position of interim Chairperson.

An Independent Member of Council who was a non-Member of the Committee disassociated himself from the disgraceful conduct which had taken place at the community planning meetings the previous week.

An Independent Member of Council stated that he had attended two of the community planning meetings in Foyleside and Ballyarnett but had not witnessed any unacceptable conduct. He stated however, that at the Ballyarnett meeting, given the general discord, he had proposed that a different approach be adopted and nominations be sought for the positions of Chairperson and Vice Chairperson. However, this proposal was rejected which may have contributed to the atmosphere which had then prevailed throughout the day,

A Member of the SDLP groupings referred to the three meetings which he had attended in the rural area which were a model of good practice. He stated that in terms of the election of the Chairperson a democratic process had been exercised. He totally opposed the appalling conduct at meetings throughout the City. He referred to the need to defend and protect the human rights of all concerned and ensure that the process was fair.

A Member of the UUP grouping referred to concerns which had arisen regarding the community planning process. He stated that the process provided a tremendous opportunity for elected Members to move forward and any obstacles which would prevent this process must be condemned outrightly. He stated that the impetus in his electoral area

Page 16 was for progress in terms of community planning and anticipated that in due course other areas would follow suit.

The Chairperson concurred with the comments made by the Sinn Fein Member and said it was unfortunate that not all community planning meetings had emulated those in the rural area.

With the permission of the Chairperson a Member of the UUP grouping referred to concerns which had arisen as a result of an Assembly question regarding the cost incurred by local government in terms of the enactment of RPA. He suggested that a Meeting be arranged between the Chief Executive and Senior Management Team and elected representatives to discuss issues arising therefrom.

ER157/16 Confirmation of the Open Minutes of the Environment and Regeneration Committee held on Wednesday 15 June 2016.

Minutes of Environment and Regeneration Meeting held on 15 June 2016 (ER128/16-ER144/16) were confirmed and signed by the Chairperson as correct.

ER161/16 Sustainable NI

A Member of the SDLP grouping inquired if value for money was being achieved relation to Sustainable NI.

ER165/16 Correspondence from Transport NI – Private Streets (NI) Order 1980.

A Member of the Sinn Fein grouping suggested that in relation to the arrangements for street lighting and standardised processes, Transport NI engage with the local development plan particularly in relation to the rural area. He referred to the various types of lighting which were being proposed which were unobtrusive in larger areas but were out of character in the rural area. He said he felt it would be a good idea for Transport NI to consider this again from an aesthetic perspective.

A Member of the UUP expressed serious that the street lighting on a section of roadway in Castlederg which was on a major route had been defective since 1 June. He requested that Transport NI be contacted in relation thereto.

The Director of Environment and Regeneration undertook to consult with Transport NI regarding the above matters.

Title of Report: Officer presenting:

Installation of Christmas Lights Head of Environment – Delegation of Authority to the Chief Executive Author:

Head of Environment

1 Purpose of Report/Recommendations 1.1 To seek Members approval with regard to the delegation of authority to the Chief Executive with regard to the installation of Christmas lighting.

2 Background 2.1 Members will be aware that Council has responsibility for the installation of Christmas lighting across the district with a budget of circa £191,000.00. 2.2 The installation and removal works are openly tendered on an annual basis in consideration of procurement obligations with approvals obtained through normal Council business. 2.3 The works are divided into a number of lots with companies tendering for some or all of the lots with the award going to the most economically advantageous tenderer for each of the lots.

3 Key Issues 3.1 Officers have taken time this year to review arrangements and consider improvements to the scheme. This review has resulted in a delay in tendering the installation and consequently in order to ensure that the works are completed in a timely manner Members permission is sought to delegate authority to the Chief Executive to make awards on completion of the tendering exercise. 3.2 A full follow-up tender report will be brought back to Members for information during the October series of meetings.

4 Financial, Equality, Legal, HR and Other Implications 4.1 There are no further financial, legal, HR or other implications associated with this item.

5 Recommendations 5.1 Members are asked to delegate authority to the Chief Executive with regard to the installation of Christmas lights and that a full tender report be brought to Members for information in due course.

Title of Report: Officer presenting:

Mourneside River Walk, Sion Head of Environment Mills Author: Access Officer

1 Purpose of Report/Recommendations 1.1 To outline the current access and leasehold arrangements relating to the Mourneside Riverwalk, Sion Mills and; 1.2 To seek Members views in respect of resuming a leasehold agreement and entering into negotiations with landowners to extend the leasehold beyond 2022.

2 Background 2.1 Members will be aware of the riverside walk developed adjacent to the River Mourne at Sion Mills. 2.2 The walk and associated recreational activities were developed approximately 30 years ago by the Rivers Agency on lands adjacent to Herdman's Mill in Sion Mills to provide enhanced access to the River for walking and angling purposes. 2.3 Sometime afterwards, these lands were transferred to the Sion Mills Development Group who further improved upon and extended the site to include a formal riverside path network with interpretive signage. 2.4 In 1997 the former Strabane District Council agreed a 25 year management and maintenance lease on said lands with the Sion Mills Development Group. This arrangement will expire in 2022. 2.5 In 2008, the legacy Council surrendered the leasehold in order to allow for the development of a hydro electricity generating station at the site. Provision was made to permit Strabane District Council to reverse this arrangement should they so decide.

3 Key Issues 3.1 In June 2016 it was brought to Councils attention that a section of the pathway had been undermined and washed away by the Mourne River, prompting an investigation into which organisation(s) have site maintenance responsibility. 3.2 In light of this Officers engaged with Council's Legal Department who confirmed that a record of the legacy Council surrendering the leasehold is on file, however no record exists of the surrender subsequently being cancelled. 3.3 Without this record Council's Legal Team are of the opinion that Council do not have any legal responsibility with regard to undertaking management and maintenance work at the site. Page 25 4 Financial, Equality, Legal, HR and Other Implications 4.1 Members should be aware that the Mourneside Riverwalk remains open to the public and is an important recreational resource for the Sion Mills area and communities. 4.2 In the absence of any formal lease / agreement the future of the walkway remaining open to the public beyond 2022 cannot be guaranteed and will be outside Councils control. 4.3 Members should also be aware however that should Council exercise its right to title then Council will be required to carry out all necessary management and maintenance works at the site. This will require additional budget provision as no provision has been made for this at present.

5 Recommendations 5.1 Members are asked to approve Council's Legal Services to reassert Councils title on the site and enter into negotiations with landowners to extend the leasehold beyond 2022.

2 Background 2.1 Members will be aware that Northern Irelands District Councils have responsibility for the management of municipal wastes collected across the region. 2.2 In consideration of the changes within both Local Government and the Executive Departments it was considered appropriate to review arrangements as currently exist and to prepare a ‘road map’ to take account of the changes to the structures and with regard to treatment infrastructure requirements for all waste streams. 2.3 In addition significant amendments are currently under consideration with regard to waste targets relating to landfill diversion, recycling and composting. These proposals will have significant impacts on how Councils collect and subsequently have wastes treated that will also most likely impact on costs.

3 Key Issues 3.1 In consideration of the above a joint working group comprising members of the Society of Local Authority Chief Executives (SOLACE) and the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) convened to discuss and ‘map out’ the key actions, costs and working arrangements that should be implemented in order to deliver a sustainable, effective and efficient waste management system across the region. The process was facilitated by the Northern Ireland Local Government Association (NILGA). 3.2 This group has met regularly over the past number of months to detail the issues and compile a report along with an action plan presented today for Members consideration.

Page 51 3.3 The report details the background to the current position along with the legislative obligations driving current practices both regionally and nationally. The report highlights that waste arising are expected to rise in tandem with increased economic activity, population growth requiring additional and enhanced treatments and capacity and that steps need to be taken to ensure that we deliver a system that is both fit for purpose and sustainable. 3.4 In addition the accompanying action plan identifies which organisation(s) are best to lead on specific aspects and provides indicative costs associated with the action. 3.5 The group recognises that there will be differing views with regard to elements of the action plan and that some actions will be taken forward on a regional, subregional or indeed individual Council basis. 3.6 Whilst the report also references structures the group have not brought forward any detailed proposals in this regard as Member input will be critical in developing and agreeing governance arrangements moving forward. 3.7 This report and action plan is being presented simultaneously to all other District Councils as well as to the Minister at the Department for the Environment and Rural Affairs for consideration and comment.

4 Financial, Equality, Legal, HR and Other Implications 4.1 Whilst there are no details with regard to the financial, regulatory and legal implications the report and action plan provide indicative costs and outline some of the changes that will be required to deliver on the proposals. 4.2 Should the report and action plan be adopted detailed discussions and further analysis will form part of the implementation process addressing all of the relevant issues as identified at 4.1 above. 4.3 The recent referendum decision to exit the EU is likely in the short term to have any impact on waste management obligations as the majority of EU legislation has been transposed into national legislation. In the longer term post ‘Brexit’ it’s likely that UK and EU legislation will be broadly similar should the UK wish to remain trading within the EU. 4.4 The North West Region Waste Management Group have been consulted on this process and outcomes.

5 Recommendations 5.1 Member’s comments and recommendations are invited with regard to the above and the enclosed report and accompanying action plan.

Briefing for Councils: Central-local Waste Management Discussions

The Future Management of Northern Ireland’s Municipal Waste ‘The World Has Changed’

Background

Further to the reform of local government on 1 April 2015, Waste management continues to be a key responsibility for local government and represents a significant cost risk. While the costs associated with waste management are subject to volatility, the expectation is that over time these costs will continue to rise.

Developing an effective cross-governmental, central-local approach to the circular economy will contribute to achieving the aims of the Programme for Government and will transform the way in which waste is managed by recognising and realising the true value of waste as a resource; the potential increased income generated helping offset costs to local government. This type of approach should provide wider economic opportunities for the private and third sectors, by supporting innovation, job creation and increased profitability across the industry. An outline is provided in Appendix 3 of the council role in and examples of opportunities presented by the circular economy.

Officers from councils and NILGA, together with officials from the former Department of Environment and Strategic Investment Board (SIB) have been meeting to consider the way forward on local government waste management service provision, further to local government reform and in the light of the recent ‘Mills Report’ on illegal waste activity and SIB studies on future infrastructure capacity requirements for Northern Ireland. Potential opportunities presented by the move towards a circular economy were also considered.

At an exploratory meeting on 7th July 2015, it was agreed to populate a strategic task and finish group with a small number of council Chief Executives and senior departmental officials to ‘scope out’ what is needed strategically for Northern Ireland in relation to waste management governance and delivery, leading towards the circular economy, and to produce a report to facilitate necessary action.

To this end, meetings have been held throughout January and March, with the aim of producing a report and action plan for SOLACE comment in May 2016, prior to 11 council and DAERA Board consideration and agreement. This Report and the Action Plan were presented to council Chief Executives for comment, prior to being presented to the relevant Department Board and the 11 councils for consideration and ratification.

Page 59

The NILGA guide to Waste and Resource Efficiency provides detailed information on all of the issues under consideration. All councillors were provided with a copy of this guide in late September 2015, and an online version is available at http://www.nilga.org/Publications---Reports/Councillors-Reference- Guide-to-Waste-and-Efficienc.aspx

Summary of Trends and Key Issues

As the current waste strategy is coming to a close in 2020 - only four years away – there has been a dynamic and urgent consideration of the impending (2020) targets as part of a wider medium term context (to 2030). The Circular Economy as it applies to Northern Ireland and the implications of policy changes arising from the changing EU focus are key issues - as are the implications of recent SIB studies into the future infrastructure issues for Northern Ireland.

The recently published draft Programme for Government Framework 2016-2021 has a stated aim of ‘Improving wellbeing for all – by tackling disadvantage and driving economic growth”.

The approach recommended in this report and the accompanying action plan would contribute to achieving six of the 14 identified outcomes of the draft PfG, i.e.:

 We prosper through a strong, competitive regionally balanced economy  We live and work sustainably – protecting the environment  We are an innovative creative society where people can fulfil their potential  We have more people working in better jobs  We have high quality public services  We connect people and opportunities through our infrastructure

The delivery of the accompanying action plan to achieving these outcomes could be measured in terms of contributing to 11 of the 42 identified PfG indicators. Only two of these 11 indicators are related to environmental sustainability and recycling, with the other nine linked to increased economic prosperity and employment. Given the impact that the recommended action plan will have on the local economy, the Department for Economy and InvestNI have been identified as key partners as this work develops.

Northern Ireland Trends

 Waste tonnages are on the rise again  Recycling rates are starting to plateau  Tonnages going to landfill continue to fall  Volume of Refuse Derived Fuel being exported is growing year on year in absence of indigenous infrastructure  Waste crime has distorted the local market  NI is unlikely to meet the revised Waste Framework Directive target of 50% recycling by 2020 on the current trajectory  Proposed EU Circular Economy targets will only heighten the need for infrastructure and increased recycling

Page 60

Current Operational and Governance Context for Local Government

 Arc21 has been reconstituted as a body corporate, with a live procurement process. It can be noted that arc21 was advised by the DOE in a letter dated 15th of December 2015 that they had referred the planning application for the Residual Waste Treatment Project to the Planning Appeals Commission (PAC). The PAC held a pre-hearing meeting, on the 9th of March 2016 at which time it was established that a full hearing would commence on the 11th October 2016.  It is therefore appropriate, and required under arc 21’s Constitution, that due consideration be given by the constituent councils to the relevant issues to enable a fully informed decision to be reached. Each constituent council is to fully consider the available options for the next steps in relation to the planning application for the Residual Waste Treatment Project. A process has been put in train for this. Five of the six councils have approved the continued process of reviewing the decision. This process will not be concluded until all the six constituent councils have made their decision.  It should also be noted that arc 21 has stated that there are legitimate grounds on which to request a hearing and that the pursuit of a hearing would be consistent with the Waste Management Plan and the legal commitments made by the predecessor councils in arc21, and as: (i) the need for public waste treatment infrastructure still remains; (ii) it will enable due process to be completed in line with stakeholder reasonable expectations; and (iii) it mitigates Councils exposure to liabilities

 The North West Region Waste Management Group (NWRWMG) is continuing to operate as a voluntary joint committee, less one of the legacy councils. Derry City & Strabane and Causeway Coast & Glens are currently assessing current contracts and collaborative issues

 SWaMP 2008 was dissolved. The three new councils in that area (Mid Ulster, Fermanagh & Omagh, and Armagh City, Banbridge & Craigavon) are yet to fully determine how they should collaborate on waste either formally or informally, with discussions underway.

 There are currently 3 Waste Management Plans covering Northern Ireland. The arc21 plan, which covers 6 new Councils, has been determined by the Department and has been ratified by 5 of the 6 Councils. The NWRWMG plan has been submitted to the Department for determination. A plan on behalf of the 3 former SWaMP 2008 Councils has also been submitted to the Department for determination.

 The DOE former Minister noted that his preferred option for delivery in Northern Ireland would be regional collaboration through a Single Waste Authority.

 The existing governance arrangements will need to be reviewed and evolve over time, and transitional arrangements are likely to be necessary. It is vital that governance structures are clear, simple and accountable.

Page 61

What happens if we carry on as we are?

 Economic and job creation benefits from taking a circular economy approach to waste management will not be realised, and optimum economic growth models will not be achieved.

 Opportunities to develop new products and services, maximising the resource potential of materials, will not be realised to the same degree locally.

 The cost of waste management treatment and disposal will increase in light of the trends highlighted above, as landfill supply ends and export increases.

 Economic, employment and environmental benefits of provision of local ‘energy from waste’ infrastructure will not be realised.

 Foreign Direct Investment will not be maximised as there will be an infrastructural and institutional deficit in relation to treating and managing waste as a resource.

 Councils will be exposed to continuing risk as a result of illegal waste activity.

 Councils could be exposed to the risk of EU infraction fines.

 Even if the UK leaves the European Union, councils could be exposed to local sanction for non- compliance with domestic legislation.

Summary of Task and Finish Group Work

The Group firstly considered the outcomes that Central and Local Government will need to deliver both in the shorter term (up to 2020) and in the medium term (up to 2030) should the proposed EU Circular Economy Package be adopted by member states. Current and projected future targets for recycling, recovery and landfill are set out in Appendix 1. A glossary of terms and acronyms is attached at Appendix 2.

There are short-term and long-term challenges arising from:

 the need for culture and behaviour change, better public understanding, driving up quality and quantity of recyclates, service improvement/transparency, government help/intervention

 the impact of local, island-wide and global markets, consistency of collection and sorting practices, level of government support, planning and funding cycles, shipping Refuse Derived Fuel elsewhere, changes arising from EU circular economy policy

 the need for better information/intelligence, better collaboration, better regulation, better monitoring, changes to food waste collection arrangements

Page 62

A major challenge arising from the developing policy on the circular economy is the likelihood of the introduction of highly ambitious new targets for reducing landfill waste down to 10 per cent by 2030, while increasing recycling capacity to 65 percent over the same period.

A key implication of this challenge will be an increase in the amount of recoverable waste. A Strategic Investment Board preliminary assessment of the Circular Economy proposals has indicated that Northern Ireland is likely to require a thermal treatment capacity of around 600,000 tonnes and potentially up to 800,000 tonnes per year – which is two to three times the current estimated need. At present there is no appropriate thermal treatment infrastructure in place locally, and we are exporting waste for recovery in the form of Refuse Derived Fuel. It should be noted that even if the EU Circular Economy package is not implemented in the UK (e.g. due to a ‘Brexit’) the levels of illegal waste activity indicate that the current need would be in the region of 200,000 to 300,000 tonnes.

The Group agreed that it would be preferable to treat this recoverable waste within close proximity of the 11 Councils (potentially including cross-border working), assessing the requirement for development of energy from waste infrastructure beyond that already planned. This was recognised as one of the key challenges facing both Central and Local Government.

Draft Action Plan (attached at Appendix 4)

A Draft Action Plan has been developed jointly by central and local government to set out a framework, designed to identify the mechanisms necessary to ensure Northern Ireland meets the relevant targets set for 2020 and beyond. The draft action plan notes who should lead on what, and by when; it is intended that implementation of the action plan will establish the how. The plan will assist in providing the evidence to support bids for funding.

Funding

It will be vital to the future success of this programme, to ensure adequate funding is put in place. The action plan includes ‘ball park’ estimates for specific actions, but does not identify potential sources of funding. The identification of ‘lead bodies’ for actions in the plan should not be taken to indicate the source of funding.

The estimated funding requirements set out in the plan are for indicative purposes only at this stage and will be firmed up as the actions in the plan are agreed and scoped out in greater detail.

It must be emphasised that some of the costs indicated are very much ‘spend to save’ initiatives, and will realise further efficiencies and savings over time.

Based on meeting the future shorter and longer term targets, the Group created a Central-Local Action Plan predicated on 4 delivery and 2 supporting outcomes. These are to:

Page 63

1. Minimise municipal waste. 2. Achieve the 2020 target of recycling 50% of household waste and prepare to contribute to meet a 65% municipal waste recycling target by 2030. 3. Maximise recovery and use of energy from residual waste in Northern Ireland. 4. Ensure provision of sufficient landfill capacity in Northern Ireland. 5. Develop a new delivery model to manage Northern Ireland’s municipal waste. 6. Create a new procurement strategy to deliver outcomes 1-4.

Supporting issues

Support is required for implementation, in the shape of provision of appropriate governance, infrastructure capacity and effective procurement. Options in relation to all of these issues require consideration. Delivery structures should be clear, simple and accountable.

Eventual solutions to deliver what is required for 2020 and beyond will need to be agreed and supported by the 11 councils. An adequate ‘run-in’ period and government support will be required in relation to policy and contracting changes.

Recommendations

1. Funding sources for the implementation of the Action Plan must be identified and agreed as a priority. Early estimates are required to inform council financial planning cycles, and a cost- benefit analysis must be considered at an early stage.

2. If the Central-Local Action Plan is agreed, a new Programme Delivery Mechanism will need to be established and adequately resourced, to take forward its implementation. This will require consideration of existing governance and operational structures, as a forward-looking structure is created, designed to streamline activity and focussing on delivery of the Action Plan. A diagram of the suggested mechanism is provided overleaf.

What is Northern Ireland required to achieve? Summary of targets - Appendix 1

RECYCLING By 2020, we MUST ensure that 50% of household waste is recycled.

Current position: 43.6% of waste from households was recycled in 2014. (The UK reports to the EU on waste from households, which excludes street sweepings and waste from public recycling bins).

Most of the ‘quick wins’ have been achieved. It will be a challenge, with current practices, to meet the 2020 target. After 2020, if the Circular Economy Package is implemented, targets are extremely likely to become even more of a challenge.

By 2025, it is likely that we will be required to ensure that 60% of municipal waste is recycled. This is likely to include a target for recycling of 65% of packaging waste By 2030, it is likely that we will be required to ensure that 65% of municipal waste is recycled. This is likely to include a target for recycling of 75% of packaging waste.

RECOVERY By 2020, it will be necessary to ensure that 70% of non-hazardous construction and demolition waste is recovered. This is of limited impact to councils. By 2030, it is likely that we will be required to recover around 25% (~600,000 – 800,000 tonnes) of municipal waste, i.e. through recovery of energy from waste.

Current Position: In 2014/15 14.9% (142,000 tonnes) of local authority collected municipal waste was sent for recovery. Identified capacity requirements recently increased to 200,000t – 300,000t to deal with illegal waste activity.

LANDFILL By 2020, we MUST ensure that no more than 35% of 1995 levels of biodegradable municipal waste goes to landfill, i.e. less than 429,000 tonnes.

Current position: In 2013 299,000 tonnes of biodegradable municipal waste was landfilled

By 2020, the NI landfill allowance scheme will permit Councils to landfill no more than 220,000 tonnes of local authority collected biodegradable municipal waste

Current position: In 2014 229,000 tonnes of local authority collected biodegradable municipal waste was landfilled By 2030, it is likely that we will be required to landfill no more than 10% of the total waste arisings

Current position: In 2014/15 43.4% of local authority collected municipal waste was landfilled. Total waste arisings in 2030 will depend on the introduction and implementation of waste prevention targets.

Page 66

QUICK CALCULATOR Assume that the amount of Municipal waste arising is 2m tonnes per annum (current very rough estimate). If we assume this remains constant until 2030, then the EU circular economy packages targets for 2030 translate into: <200kt in landfill (<10%); ~500kt for recovery (~25%) and 1.3mt for recycling (65%).

Given the likelihood of increased waste arisings due to economic recovery, the figure requiring recovery is more likely to be between 600,000 – 800,000 tonnes

What happens if Northern Ireland doesn’t achieve these targets?

Failure to meet EU targets is likely to result in infraction fines. These fines can be extremely heavy. Examples can be seen at: http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-06-1756_en.htm

Glossary of Terms and Acronyms - Appendix 2 As noted above, the NILGA guide to Waste and Resource Efficiency provides detailed information on all of the issues under consideration. http://www.nilga.org/Publications---Reports/Councillors-Reference-Guide-to-Waste-and-Efficienc.aspx Waste from Households: Household waste excluding street sweepings and public recycling bins Household waste (HHW): waste from households plus street sweepings and waste from public recycling bins Local Authority Collected Waste collected by Councils (mainly HHW but will include some commercial Municipal Waste waste) (LACMW): Local Authority Collected The biodegradable fraction of LACMW Biodegradable Municipal Waste (LACBMW): Municipal Waste: Waste from households and other similar waste – this includes most Commercial and Industrial waste – regardless of who collects it Biodegradable Municipal The biodegradable fraction of Municipal Waste Waste (BMW): Commercial and Industrial Waste from premises used wholly/mainly for the purposes of a (C&I) waste: trade/business, sport, recreation/entertainment Construction, Demolition Waste from construction or demolition works, including waste from any and Excavation waste: preparatory works Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) Fuel produced from waste through a number of processes such as mechanical separation, blending and compressing to increase the calorific value of the waste. Such waste derived fuels can comprise paper, plastic and other combustible wastes and can be combusted in a waste-to-energy plant, cement kiln or industrial furnace. Circular Economy A circular economy means re-using, repairing, refurbishing and recycling existing materials and products. What used to be regarded as ‘waste’ can be turned into a resource. The aim is to look beyond waste and to close the loop of the circular economy. All resources need to be managed more efficiently during their life cycle Residual Waste The fraction of waste remaining after the source separation of e.g. food and garden waste, packaging, paper and paperboard, metals, glass. It is usually unsuitable for high quality recovery or recycling. Recycling The process of transforming materials into raw materials for manufacturing new products, which may or may not be similar to the original product. Recovery Options for recovering value from the waste stream. May include recycling and composting, thermal and biological treatments that use waste to produce energy. Proximity Principle The principle set out in the EU Framework Directive (91/156/EEC) whereby member states should establish a network enabling waste to be disposed of in the nearest appropriate installations, by means of the most appropriate methods and technologies to ensure a high level of protection for the environment and for public health. Self Sufficiency Principle The EU and its member states should remain self-sufficient with regard to the disposal of waste. As with the proximity principle most waste should be treated and managed within the region in which it is generated provided there are no unacceptable adverse effects. The principle of regional self sufficiency cannot always be rigidly applied given that commercial considerations may override boundary issues.

The Council Role in the Circular Economy - Appendix 3

How can councils use their waste management activities to create jobs and innovative new businesses locally?

Councils have a number of vital roles in maximising the opportunities presented by the circular economy, including:

1. As custodians of resources that can be diverted from disposal, and put to effective use as raw materials for new products in innovative or traditional businesses – creating jobs for citizens and growing the economy; or as fuel to create energy – both power and heat – which can be used to the benefit of citizens. 2. As promoters and supporters of new businesses and job creation in their areas. 3. As purchasers of goods and services.

A number of examples are outlined below, which demonstrate the circular economy in action. Five international business models and new ways of thinking are also outlined which could be encouraged by councils to develop in Northern Ireland.

We need to move from a system of waste to a system of resource stewardship—and from a linear economy to one that’s circular. Some councils and their local businesses are getting closer to this ideal than others.

A council that is applying the principles of the circular economy could potentially benefit their local economy, community and environment in a variety of ways. There are huge opportunities for councils to increase the number of jobs and employment opportunities in their areas, for example:

Retail and Services: Through targeting an area, potentially a more run down part of the town centre, where there could be a focus on reuse and ‘upcycling’; for example, a street full of antique shops, vintage fashion outlets, furniture restorers, auction houses and artisan producers using recycled materials (e.g. handbags from old car seat belts). This could be supported by council marketing activity and, possibly, local powers to apply discount to local non-domestic rates (in partnership with the NI Department of Finance).

Manufacturing Job Creation and Skills Development: By using their ‘clout’ as ‘market-makers’, councils can create a policy and operational landscape which encourages collaboration with the private sector or social economy to provide a stream of materials through a variety of recycling streams (i.e. domestic, commercial, etc) for use as raw materials in recycling and reuse businesses, and through the local development plan, zoning for enterprise and light manufacturing in areas of high unemployment/social deprivation. Such areas could also be supported by novel business rating schemes.

For example, Ulster Supported Employment Limited (USEL) provides training and supported, paid employment for people with disabilities and health related conditions and is based in Cambrai Street, close to an ‘interface area’ in North Belfast. USEL has recently started working with councils to take mattresses for recycling. They secured a contract with Belfast City council to remove all mattresses from 11

Page 69

their four amenity sites and to recycle them. So far they have collected and recycled in excess of 3500; total weight of slightly over 60 tonnes.

 39% of this tonnage is sent to the mainland for reuse in carpet underlay and acoustic matting  15% went for reprocessing ( Metal Springs)  40% went to Energy from waste  Only 6% went to landfill

The USEL medium term strategy is to offer this service to all councils within a 30 mile radius of Belfast and follow this up next year to offer this service to all councils within Northern Ireland. So far 4 jobs have been created, with another 6 forthcoming with the 30 mile radius roll-out.

Use of Council Contracts to Change the Marketplace: As purchasers of goods and services, councils can lead the drive towards a circular economy through the specification of contracts and use of environmental and social impact criteria.

For example, as part of capital programmes; when agreeing a ‘new build’ project, the council should begin to look at the whole life for the project – how to increase employability and skills in the initial build, how to incorporate the use of recycled materials in the build, to take a look beyond the first use and explore the potential for refurbishment or reconstruction in the longer term, and the potential for eventual recovery of materials used.

The International Picture

Since the Industrial Revolution, humanity’s use of natural resources has been basically the same:

Throw Take Make away

The World Bank’s predictions for global waste generation are chastening: on current trends it will double between now and 2025 to 6.5 million tons of solid waste every day. Yes, we are better at using virgin resources more efficiently while second-hand markets and recycling rates have both improved; but this hasn’t altered the fundamentals. Many companies’ business models are not set up to do much else than earn money from volume. The fact that few businesses are vertically integrated makes it more difficult for businesses to reform the model for "closed" product loops even if their CEOs want to.

When you add to this the OECD’s estimate of an extra two billion middle class consumers before 2030, commodity price volatility and new environmental regulations, you start to see the scale of the challenge. The good news, though, is that circular economy thinking—building an economy that doesn’t create waste—can make business sense. This is particularly important in an era of such fast changing technology.

It often requires product vendors to think of the resources in their products as assets rather than inputs and their customers as users rather than buyers. 12

Page 70

The question then becomes how to maximize value along the chain and, crucially, how to enable the assets to be continually re-introduced to markets.

For example, 3D printing is usually perceived as being used to create plastic moulds; however, increasingly it is being applied as a manufacturing technique for other items such as concrete construction materials or, more recently, using recycled steel filings as a raw material, requiring much less energy than production of new steel.

Once a material is seen as an investment and customers as users, one appreciates how little business- sense it makes to discard product assets after only a few months instead of maintaining the customer relationship during multiple cycles.

Of course, this "circular" thinking may be easier said than done. There are five fundamental considerations for nearly every sector when thinking about how to make their business model more circular:

 How can we design our products with asset recovery in mind?  How can we develop product lines to meet demand without wasting assets?  How can we source material in regenerative loops rather than linear flows?  How can we develop a revenue model that protects value up and down the chain, and  How can we get our customers to cooperate with us?

Complex organizations with multiple stakeholders and relationships with customers that are generally "point-of-sale" may need to change their mind set and think of themselves as service providers.

Outlined below are five examples of business models that are contributing to making circular businesses a reality1:

1: Products as Services

This is where goods vendors embrace the idea of themselves as service providers: leasing access to and not selling ownership of a service. In some cases this has led not only to an effective hedge against cost volatility but also to a more loyal customer relationship and increased ‘upsell’. Vodafone’s trade-in service is a good example. You can rent the latest phone for a year and keep on exchanging it for a newer version. With Vodafone engaged in collecting the old phone, not only does this act as material collection and pooling but from a business standpoint also creates deeper customer relationships.

2: Next Life Sales

Next life materials and products work when a company can efficiently recover and re-condition its products after use and then put the same products into the market to earn a second or third income. Mercedes Benz Ireland is a good example here. It’s more than a second hand car parts dealership. Parts are refurbished in Mercedes Benz workshops and then undergo a certification process. These high quality

1 www.fastcoexist.com 13

Page 71

safety-checked parts are offered at up to 50% cheaper than new and with the same manufacturer's warranty as a new part.

Mercedes-Benz genuine reconditioned parts are subject to the same quality requirements as their new parts. They are worked on by experts and brought fully up-to-date in technical terms, so that they again meet the high standards of Mercedes-Benz with regard to reliability, safety and durability.

3: Product Transformation

Not all products can be reconditioned in their entirety but most products have certain components that carry a high value. Not just products, but often materials themselves have an embedded energy component that makes them even more valuable than their virgin source. With the right design and remanufacturing capabilities, they can be put together to form new products. This is product transformation. For example, Caterpillar, a large employer over a number of sites in Co. Antrim, is a world leader in remanufacture, attracting nominations for global awards. Caterpillar has been providing remanufacturing services for more than 20 years, and the European Remanufacturing Centre of the Caterpillar remanufacturing Services Division is located in Shrewsbury, England. Using a host of remanufacturing technologies, the facility receives engines and a range of other components from customers, and cleans, refurbishes, reassembles and updates them in compliance with the exacting standards set by Caterpillar. The site remanufactures thousands of items each year, bringing significant environmental and cost benefits to Caterpillar and third-party customers.

4: Recycling 2.0

Not to be forgotten is that innovation in recycling technology (Recycling 2.0) is rapidly evolving and enabling production of high-quality products with fantastic sustainability performance. Starbucks, for example, is actually aiming to turn thousands of tonnes of its waste coffee grounds and food into everyday products by using bacteria to generate succinic acid which can then be used in a range of products from detergents to bio-plastics and medicines.

5: Collaborative Consumption

Lastly, social media exchange platforms are rapidly transforming industries by collaborative consumption. Airbnb (the online service that matches people seeking vacation rentals with hosts who have space) now has over 200,000 listings in 26,000 cities. The leading businesses that are advancing the concept of the “sharing economy” are in many respects no longer insurgents and newcomers. The size and scale of Uber, Airbnb and several other firms now rival, or even surpass, those of some of the world’s largest businesses in transportation, hospitality and other sectors. As the economic power of these technology- driven firms grows, there continue to be regulatory and policy skirmishes on every possible front, across cities and towns spanning Europe, the USA, and beyond. AirBnB and Uber are now operative in Northern Ireland, and councils will need to consider how to work with them effectively and maximise the benefits of their presence in the NI marketplace.

Page 72

Mixed Business Models

Of course, moving to a truly circular economy could require a mixture of all these five business models and a great deal of product and service innovation.

For example, nationally – and locally in Northern Ireland - www.TerraCycle.co.uk has developed a collaborative approach to dealing innovatively with hard to recycle materials in partnership with the private sector and the public; with markets for items such as used coffee pods, biscuit wrappers, and cigarette waste.

“TerraCycle offers free recycling programmes funded by brands, manufacturers, and retailers around the world to help you collect and recycle your hard-to-recycle waste. Simply choose the programs you’d like to join; start collecting in your home, school, or office; download free shipping labels; and send us your waste to be recycled. You can even earn rewards for your school or favorite non-profit!”

What these business models demonstrate is that it is possible to rethink how we make and use things. The companies that are starting now may well define the future of sustainable business, enabling global prosperity on a crowded planet with finite resources.

Title of Report: Officer presenting: Regeneration Manager

Strabane Town Centre - Author: Regeneration Manager Proposed Shopfront Enhancement Scheme

1 Purpose of Report/Recommendations 1.1 To update Members on proposals to develop a proposed Shopfront Enhancement Scheme for Strabane Town Centre and to seek Members approval for Officers to progress with preparing an external funding application for this project.

2 Background 2.1 Members may be aware of the previous 'Strabane Town Centre Revitalisation' project implemented by the former Strabane District Council. This project focused primarily on the upgrade of the facades of commercial premises located within Strabane Town Centre with the most recent scheme completed in 2014. This particular project involved the refurbishment of selected facades in Main Street, Castle Place and Bridge Street, with an emphasis of introducing new shopfronts & signage that were of a high quality design and which paid due regard to the design proportions of the buildings and surrounding streetscapes. This scheme was funded by the former DSD North West Development Office to the value of £400k. 2.2 A similar scheme is currently being developed in Derry City Centre as part of the 'ReStore' initiative being coordinated by City Centre Initiative, DCSDC and DFC NWDO. Schemes on upper Strand Road and Clooney Terrace are due to be completed within this current financial year.

3 Key Issues 3.1 In line with the draft Community Plan and Departmental Service Plan, Officers are keen to develop a new Shopfront Enhancement Scheme for Strabane Town Centre. Officers have been liaising with colleagues from the Department for Communities (DFC) North West Development Office to establish if the potential exists for funding towards the design and implementation of a Shopfront Enhancement Scheme. DFC advised that they would be prepared to consider a proposal from DCSDC, subject to the submission of a formal funding application and there being available funding.

Page 75 3.2 As with previous/current similar schemes, ensuring clustering of groups of properties will be important to ensure maximum visual impact within the selected streetscapes. Therefore any proposed scheme is unlikely to support single/stand- alone property projects. Selection of properties will be based on defined criteria such as; their current physical condition; decorative need; levels of vacancy; complimentary impact on other regeneration schemes etc. Officers would be keen for the scheme to compliment with the proposed Business Improvement District (BID). 3.3 At this stage, the project is at early concept stage and further work is required to fully scope its elements. However, subject to Member's approval, Officers would propose to undertake an assessment of potential eligible zones within Strabane Town Centre and consult with Council's BID Manager, property owners and representative groups such as the Strabane Town Centre Forum. This would then culminate in the submission of a formal funding proposal to DFC. 3.4 If the funding application is successful, then the proposed scheme would be delivered over two phases in terms of (a) Design and Planning - 2016/17 and (b) Capital Implementation - 2017/18. The scale of any proposed Shopfront Enhancement Scheme will be determined not only be the level of interest by property owners, but also by the available external budget. In terms of ensuring efficient implementation and delivery of the proposed Shopfront Enhancement Scheme, the design, planning and implementation stages will be coordinated by Council.

4 Financial, Equality, Legal, HR and Other Implications 4.1 Officers are seeking external grant aid to deliver all elements of the project at a rate of 100%. Based on the values associated with previous schemes delivered in the District, the amount being sought is £250k (£50k design/project management) and £200k capital). Apart from Officer time and input, there will be no direct financial implications to Council.

5 Recommendations 5.1 Based on the above, Members authority is sought to scope out a proposed Shopfront Enhancement Scheme for Strabane Town Centre and to submit an application to DFC for external funding support. Officers propose to provide regular updates to Committee in terms of progress of the proposed project.

Title of Report: Officer presenting: Director of Environment & Regeneration Unadopted Roads/Private Streets Author: Director of Environment & Regeneration

1 Purpose of Report/Recommendations 1.1 To advise Members of progress in relation to dealing with unadopted roads/private streets and to agree a Member Working Group to oversee this joint working.

2 Background 2.1 Members will recall that they have on a number of occasions considered the issue of unadopted roads/streets and the problems that these may cause to residents throughout the district. These include residents moving into areas that do not have street lighting, finished footpaths etc and may also have drainage problems. Council refuse collection vehicles often cannot enter unadopted roads leading to residents having to present bins some distance from their homes. 2.2 Members asked that a working group be established to consider ways this issue could be addressed. Officers met with officials from Transport NI/Department for Infrastructure to identify and agree terms of reference regarding ways in which officials could work together to ensure that these issues could be prevented in future and also how the teams could work together to address existing problems and to ensure potential house purchasers within roads/streets that are not adopted are fully aware of the problems prior to purchasing properties.

3 Key Issues 3.1 Officers from Council's Planning, Environment & Regeneration and Legal Departments met with officers from Department for Infrastructure in order to progress these issues. Officers discussed and suggested the following actions:

 Officers from Council/NIW/TNI should work together to consider the backlog of unadopted developments to get better understanding of the issues affecting adoption of infrastructure by Transport NI and NI Water.  Council/NIW/TNI work collaboratively towards targeting the worst affected developments within the Council area.  Council/NIW/TNI would agree the worst affected developments each year for targeting in line with current policy.  Officers would monitor progress on dealing with unadopted development.

Page 79  During pre-application, discussions with developers, prior to submission of a planning application, Planning, DFI and NI Water officials should provide explicit guidance to developers on their responsibility to ensure that developments are brought to the standards required to ensure that the development can be adopted, if relevant.  Officers should consider and recommend effective planning conditions to applications that could be enforced should a developer fail to implement the required standards.  DFI/NIW officials would continue to ensure that an adequate bond was in place to deal with defects relating to housing developments, if necessary.  Officials would engage with the Law Society in order to explore the role of solicitors in advising clients purchasing properties of any potential issues relating to unadopted development and to explore if this could be explicit in property certificates.

3.2 In addition to engagement between officials at an officer level, Members are keen to see the establishment of a Member Working Group on this issue.

3.3 A proposed Draft Terms of Reference for the Member Working Group is attached as Appendix 1.

4 Financial, Equality, Legal, HR and Other Implications 4.1 This ongoing work does not have a direct additional resource implication, however, the Member Working Group may consider that additional resources are necessary to deal with this issue and make recommendations accordingly.

5 Recommendations 5.1 Members are asked to consider setting up a Member Working Group to consider unadopted roads/private streets. It is recommended that a member of each political party and an independent member is nominated to take part on this Member Working Group.

The site extends to some 4.1 hectares and had been in use since the early 1970’s. 2.2 The site is approximately 2km from Strabane on the Urney Road adjacent to the Finn River and operated on the basis of ‘dilute and disperse’ principle with regard to leachate. 2.3 Following closure, Strabane District Council considered several options for the site including the development of football pitches, through most recently plans related to the establishment of a woodland park on the site. 2.4 RPS Consulting Engineers were engaged to carry out a desktop review of the site relating to the football pitches proposal with that report highlighting difficulties in achieving this outcome considering the topography of the site and the estimated costs in the region of £3.54 million – this was reported in December 2010. 2.5 A number of issues arose with regard to the second proposal regarding the development of a woodland on the site. This matter was again progressed during 2014 with funding - in the sum of £23,675 - secured to deliver the outcome. 2.6 This project was however unable to proceed as a difficulty arose with a lease granted on the site to a local farmer. Strabane District Council opted at that time to take no further action and instead to let the lease run its course. 2.7 The lease on the site terminated during November 2015 with Council now having full access to the site.

3 Key Issues 3.1 Part of the site will be required to facilitate the development of the A5 road link reducing further the development potential of the site.

Page 139 3.2 All Planning Consents issued with regard to the site have now expired and any future developments at the site may require a fresh planning application.

3.3 Given that some considerable time has now elapsed an updated site condition survey should be considered in terms of any plans for the site.

4 Financial, Equality, Legal, HR and Other Implications 4.1 As detailed above, any new works at the site will require planning consent and be based on an updated site condition survey.. 4.2 The development of football pitches - as considered previously by the former Strabane District Council - will involve remediation of the site with costs likely to be circa m£3.5. 4.3 The opportunity presented by the Challenge funding with regard to the woodland scheme is no longer available. Officers will reconsider this option, determining the costs and benefits etc and any potential sources of funding and will bring forward a further report for Members consideration as soon as possible. 4.4 Council could consider releasing the site for grazing etc as an interim arrangement pending the development of a longer term plan for the site.

5 Recommendations 5.1 Members are asked to note the contents of this report.

Dear Minister

RE: A2 Buncrana Road

At the meeting of the Environment and Regeneration Committee of Deny City and Strabane District Council on 15th June 2016, Members discussed the A2 Buncrana Road, which the Department has been intending to upgrade for a long number of years, however funding for the scheme has not been made available.

Members noted that this upgrade is now urgently required as the inadequacy of this section of the road is having a significant detrimental effect on the ability of residents and businesses to move freely around the City and is also having a significant effect on the ability of the District to achieve its aspirations for economic regeneration, as a number of regeneration projects are dependent on the upgrade of this road.

Members have asked me to write to you to seek your urgent consideration of this matter and to seek assurance that this project willbe phoritised and commenced as soon as is possible.

Iwould be grateful Ifyou could provide a response that I can being to Members for their consideration.

Page 152 BACKGROUND

Northern Ireland Railways (NIR) is required to make application to the Department in accordance with section 66(4) of the Transport Act (NI) 1967 when seeking to provide for a Public Level Crossing Order under the above Act. The Act requires the Department to make a new Order for the provision of a level crossing and its operational implementation.

Translink are planning to complete the Phase 2 upgrade on the Derry line by the end of November 2016. On this railway line, there are a series of level crossings however the majority of these are covered by existing level crossing orders which already meet the requirements of the new operational systems. The proposed level crossing orders at Bellarena, Castlerock and Bushmills Road, Coleraine are being made to reflect new works at these level crossings and their operational requirements. The proposed Orders permit the provision and maintenance of barriers which are operated from a central control and supervised by closed circuit television at level crossings at Bellarena, Castlerock and Bushmills Road, Coleraine.

Section 47 of the Railways Clauses Consolidation Act 1854 (which requires the railway undertaking to provide gates and gate keepers), section 6 of the Railway Clauses Act 1863 (requirements as to lodges etc.) and any other provision imposing requirements to the same or similar effect shall not apply to the crossings while the proposed Orders remain in force.

In each of the respective Orders, Schedule 1 sets out the particulars of barriers, lights, traffic signs and other devices, which are to be provided at the crossings with Schedule 2 stating the condition and requirements with which the railway undertaking is to comply in relation to the crossings.

The proposed draft Orders set out the requirements for these level crossings. A copy of the proposed Orders is attached at Annexes 1-3.

Page 153 Consultation will be for an eight week period and will be targeted to the rail industry, consumer and passenger interests and trade unions representing rail workers.

The Department would welcome any comments you may wish to make on the proposed legislation before it is brought to the Assembly for consideration and making.

The Department also invites your views on the potential impact, if any, you consider that the proposed legislation might have on equality of opportunity, human rights issues and rural impact.

The list of consultees is also provided (Annex 4). If you consider that this consultation should be copied to additional interested parties please contact me as soon as possible and I will ensure their inclusion.

An electronic copy of the Consultation Paper is available on the Department’s Internet site at https://www.infrastructure-ni.gov.uk/consultations/proposal-for-level- crossing-orders-for-castlerock-bellarena-and-bushmills-road-coleraine and copies can also be made available in alternative formats, if so required.

Comments on the proposed Regulations should be made in writing and may be forwarded electronically via e-mail to [email protected] or [email protected] or, alternatively, via post to Mr George Kearns/Ms Janette Galloway, Department for Infrastructure, Transport Policy, Strategy and Legislation Division, 3rd Floor, Clarence Court, 10 – 18 Adelaide Street, Belfast BT2 8GB.

The closing date for receipt of all responses is 28th October 2016.

The Department tries to make its consultation procedure as thorough and open as possible. Following the end of the consultation we shall publish details of the responses received. Information you provide in your response, including personal information, could be published or disclosed under the Freedom of Information Act

Page 154 2000 (FOIA). Under the FOIA, there is a statutory Code of Practice with which public authorities must comply and which deals with obligations of confidence.

Facilities shall be provided at the crossing to operate the barriers and other protective equipment. 20. Lighting shall be provided as necessary so that during the hours of darkness in conditions of normal visibility it can be seen from the control point that the crossing is clear whilst the barriers are being lowered, and until the ‘crossing clear’ push-button is pressed. 21. Protecting railway signals shall be provided and these shall be interlocked with the barriers so that it shall not be possible, other than by hand, to raise the barriers from their positions across the carriageway

Page 159 unless the protecting railway signals are set at Danger and whilst the barriers are raised it shall not be possible to clear those signals. 22. In this Schedule – ‘the Regulations’ means the Traffic Signs Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1997 (a) .

SCHEDULE 2 Article 3(c) CONDITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS TO BE COMPLIED WITH BY THE RAILWAY UNDERTAKING 1. The carriageway shall be approximately 6.1 metres wide at the crossing. 2. The ground at the two edges of the carriageway over the crossing shall be made-up to the level of the carriageway for a distance of approximately 1.5 metres beyond each edge. 3. The surface of the carriageway and footways over the crossing shall be maintained in good and even condition. 4. The barriers shall be kept in the fully raised position except during the time when engines, carriages or other vehicles passing along the railway have occasion to cross the road. 5. The electric lamps or equivalent (light emitting diodes) on each barrier mentioned in Schedule 1 shall be lit at all times except when the barriers are in the fully raised position. 6. The crossing shall be illuminated during the hours of darkness to such a standard that the operator can ascertain in conditions of normal visibility that the crossing is clear before the barriers are fully lowered. 7. The protecting signals shall be controlled from the signalling control centre containing the crossing control point. This control point shall be located so that there is a clear view of the crossing from it. 8. The picture of the crossing shall be exhibited on the television monitor before the sequence of events to close the crossing to road traffic begins. The picture shall continue to be exhibited until either the barriers are fully raised after the ‘raise’ push-button is pressed, or if automatic raising is in operation after the ‘crossing clear’ push-button is pressed. 9.

Page 160 (c) 4 to 6 seconds later, the left-hand side barriers shall begin to descend and shall take a further 6 to 10 seconds to reach the lowered position; (d) the right-hand side barriers shall then begin to descend taking 6 to 10 seconds to reach the lowered position; (e) the audible warning shall stop when all the barriers are fully lowered. 12. The arrangements shall be such that the protecting railway signals can only be cleared after the barriers are fully lowered and after the ‘crossing clear’ push-button has been pressed. Unless the protecting signals have been cleared for another train, all the barriers shall rise simultaneously either after the ‘raise’ push-button has been pressed or automatically as soon as the train has passed clear of the crossing. 13. If a train overruns a protecting signal the arrangements shall be such that the red lights will immediately show omitting the amber sequence, the audible warning will sound and all barriers remain in the raised position. 14. The intermittent red lights shall continue to show until the barriers have begun to rise and shall be extinguished before the barriers have risen to an angle of 45 degrees above the horizontal 15. If, during the lower sequence, both red road lights on any RTL are failed before the point in the sequence that the barriers are due to start lowering, then the barriers shall remain in the raised position. In this situation, the barriers can only be lowered from the local control unit until the fault is rectified. Once the barriers have begun to lower a further red light failure shall not stop or prevent them lowering. 16. If the barriers do not achieve the fully raised position within 10 seconds of starting to raise, then the barriers stop in their present positions. The red RTL’s shall re-illuminate and a failed indication and alarm is given at the supervising control centre. A further 2 seconds may be added if required to allow for relay operation. 17. A failure indication can only be extinguished when the barriers are either in the fully raised or fully lowered position. In the fully raised position, the failure indication shall only extinguish if the RTL’s are also extinguished. (RTL’s shall be taken to be extinguished if the controls are set for them to be extinguished. No light proving is required). 18. Should automatic lowering or raising take an abnormally long time an audible and visual warning shall be given at the control point.

The electric lamps or equivalent (light emitting diodes) on each barrier mentioned in Schedule 1 shall be lit at all times except when the barriers are in the fully raised position. 6. The crossing shall be illuminated during the hours of darkness to such a standard that the operator can ascertain in conditions of normal visibility that the crossing is clear before the barriers are fully lowered. 7. The protecting signals shall be controlled from the signalling control centre containing the crossing control point. 8. The picture of the crossing shall be exhibited on the television monitor before the sequence of events to close the crossing to road traffic begins. The picture shall continue to be exhibited until either the barriers are fully raised after the ‘raise’ push-button is pressed, or if automatic raising is in operation after the ‘crossing clear’ push-button is pressed. 9. Visual indicators and an audible alarm shall be provided at the control point. The indicators shall show when: (a) the main power supply is available; (b) all the barriers are fully raised; (c) all the barriers are fully lowered; (d) at least one of the intermittent red lights of the traffic light signals on each side of the railway is showing along the carriageway. 10. The audible alarm shall sound if: (a) any barrier is horizontally dislocated when in the fully-lowered position; (b) the main power supply fails; (c) all the red traffic light signals facing in one direction fail. 11. When the ‘lower’ push button is pressed or the train occupies a track circuit, the sequence of events to close the crossing to road traffic shall begin. The sequence shall be: (a) the amber lamps shall immediately show and the audible warning shall begin. The lights shall show for approximately 3 seconds; (b) immediately the amber lamps are extinguished the intermittent red lights shall show;

Page 167 (c) 4 to 6 seconds later, the left-hand side barriers shall begin to descend and shall take a further 6 to 10 seconds to reach the lowered position; (d) the right-hand side barriers shall then begin to descend taking 6 to 10 seconds to reach the lowered position; (e) the audible warning shall stop when all the barriers are fully lowered. 12. The arrangements shall be such that the protecting railway signals can only be cleared after the barriers are fully lowered and after the ‘crossing clear’ push-button has been pressed. Unless the protecting signals have been cleared for another train, all the barriers shall rise simultaneously either after the ‘raise’ push-button has been pressed or automatically as soon as the train has passed clear of the crossing. 13. If a train overruns a protecting signal the arrangements shall be such that the red lights will immediately show omitting the amber sequence, the audible warning will sound and all barriers remain in the raised position. 14. Controls to automatically initiate the crossing closure sequence for trains approaching from Bellarena will be implemented at Castlerock Station. The crossing closure sequence will be initiated as a train enters the platform but the barriers will not lower. The road lights shall extinguish after a defined time. Pressing the lower button after automatic initiation of the crossing closure sequence will continue to close the crossing. 15. The intermittent red lights shall continue to show until the barriers have begun to rise and shall be extinguished before the barriers have risen to an angle of 45 degrees above the horizontal 16. If, during the lower sequence, both red road lights on any RTL are failed before the point in the sequence that the barriers are due to start lowering, then the barriers shall remain in the raised position. In this situation, the barriers can only be lowered from the local control unit until the fault is rectified. Once the barriers have begun to lower a further red light failure shall not stop or prevent them lowering. 17. If the barriers do not achieve the fully raised position within 10 seconds of starting to raise, then the barriers stop in their present positions. The red RTL’s shall re-illuminate and a failed indication and alarm is given at the supervising control centre. A further 2 seconds may be added if required to allow for relay operation. 18. A failure indication can only be extinguished when the barriers are either in the fully raised or fully lowered position. In the fully raised position, the failure indication shall only extinguish if the RTL’s are also extinguished. (RTL’s shall be taken to be extinguished if the controls are set for them to be extinguished. No light proving is required). 19. Should automatic lowering or raising take an abnormally long time an audible and visual warning shall be given at the control point.

A BACKGROUND

The Department for Infrastructure propose to make Regulations to give effect to Articles 30 and 32 of Regulation (EC) No. 1371/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23rd October 2007 concerning the rights of rail passengers.

Regulation (EC) No. 1371/2007 is directly applicable in all member states.

A copy of the draft regulations, The Rail Passengers’ Rights and Obligations (Designation and Enforcement) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2016 is attached at Appendix A.

These Regulations provide for the operational implementation of Regulation (EC) No. 1371/2007 in relation to complaints handling and the enforcement of the rights of rail passengers in railtransport.

The purpose of this consultation is to ask stakeholders for any comments they may have on the proposed draft Statutory Rule (SR).

European Regulation (EC) No 1371/2007 (the Regulation) on rail passengers rights and 3td obligations is one of a series of measures that form part of the Railway package. It is a mandatory instrument aimed at enhancing the rights of passengers on international and domestic rail services. The policy is aimed at strengthening the rights of rail passengers particularly in the areas of information and ticketing provision, compensation and assistance, and the rights for persons of reduced mobilityand enforcement of those rights.

One of the key agreements reached between the Council and the European Parliament during negotiations of the Regulation was to allow Member States to grant certain exemptions. Article 2(4) allowed Member States to grant an exemption for all domestic services from the non-core provisions of the Regulation for an initial period of five years, followed by a maximum of two further periods of five years each (making a maximum of 15 years).

The Rail Passengers’ Rights and Obligations (Exemptions) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2011 provided an exemption from the provisions of Regulation (EC) No. 1371/2007 until 31st December 2014 in Northern Ireland.

3 Page 185 As many of the requirements of the EC Regulation are being met by the rail transport provider, there does not appear to be a need to renew the exemptions. The Department therefore, now propose to make Regulations to give effect to Regulation (EC) No. 1371/2007. The Department of Transport in London are also consulting on a similar basis.

The proposed Rail Passengers Rights and Obligations (Designation and Enforcement) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2016 are being introduced by the Department to give effect to Articles 30 and 32 of Regulation EC No. 1371/2007.

Article 30 relates to the designation of an enforcement body and a complaints handling body. Article 32 refers to penalties which are applicable as a result of any infringement of Regulation (EC) No. 1371/2007.

The proposed Regulations provide for the operational implementation of Regulation EC No. 1371/2007 in relation to the complaints handling and enforcement of these aspects of the rights of passengers in rail transport.

Regulation 4 of the proposed Rail Passengers Rights and Obligations (Designation and Enforcement) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2016 implements Article 30(1) of Regulation 1371/2007 by designating the Department for Infrastructure as being responsible for enforcement of Regulation 1371/2007 and gives that Department the right to ask for information to assist it in carrying out their functions.

Regulation 5 implements Article 30(2) of Regulation 1371 /2007 by designating the Department for Infrastructure as the body to which complaints may be made by passengers about alleged infringements of Regulation 1371/2007, where they have made a complaint to the railway undertaking which has not been resolved within 3 months.

Regulation 6 implements the enforcement measures which would apply where EC Regulation No. 1371/2007 has been contravened.

4 Page 186 Regulation 7 implements Article 32 of Regulation 1371/2007 by setting penalties applicable to those found guilty of infringements of Regulation (EC) No. 1371/2007 or failing to comply with a notice issued under regulation 6.

Regulation 8 enables persons who have suffered an infringement of their rights under Regulation (EC) No. 1371/2007 to seek compensation separately from any criminal penalty that may be imposed.

21st This formal consultation is open from 30 August2016 until November 2016.

RESPONDING TO THE CONSULTATION

The Department would welcome any comments you may wish to make on the proposed legislation before it is brought to the Assembly for making.

The Department also invites your views on the potential impact, if any, you consider that the proposed legislation might have on equality of opportunity, human rights issues and rural impact.

The list of consultees is also provided (Appendix B). If you consider that this consultation should be copied to additional interested parties please contact me as soon as possible

and I will ensure their inclusion.

An electronic copy of the Consultation Paper is available on the Department’s Internet site at https://www.infrastructure-ni.gov.uk/consultations/rail-passengers-rights-and-obligations designation-and-enforcement-regulations-northern-ireland-201 6 and copies can also be

made available in alternative formats, if so required.

Comments on the proposed regulations should be made in writing and may be forwarded via e-mail to [email protected] or janette.gallowayinfrastructure ni.gov.uk or, alternatively, via post to George Kearns/Janette Galloway, Department for Infrastructure, Transport Policy, Strategy and Legislation Division, 3rd Floor, Clarence Court, 10—18Adelaide Street, Belfast BT2 8GB.

1 Purpose of Report/Recommendations 1.1 To update Members with regard to landfill allowance for Derry City and Strabane District Council in consideration of the Northern Ireland Landfill Allowance Scheme.

2 Background 2.1 Members will note that under The Landfill Allowance Scheme (NI) Regulations 2004, NIEA are required to prepare a draft reconciliation for each of Northern Irelands 11 District Councils. 2.2 NIEA must reconcile the allowances available with the amount of Biodegradable Local Authority Collected Municipal Waste (BLACMW) sent to landfill by each district Council for each of the scheme years with NIEA recently advising as to the out turn for the 2015/16 year. 2.3 Derry City and Strabane District Council has - through WasteDataFlow - submitted quarterly returns for the scheme year 2015/16 from information provided with regard to all waste streams processed by Council. This data is then used by NIEA to calculate the amount of Biodegradable Municipal Waste sent by Council to landfill during that period and specifically what quantity of that waste was biodegradable.

3 Key Issues 3.1 The total amount of BLACMW sent to landfill by Derry City and Strabane District Council for the scheme year was 13,429 tonnes which equates to 59.46% utilisation of the 22,586 allowances available. 3.2 NIEA have advised that they have not received any requests for the transfer or borrowing of allowances for the scheme year. 3.3 NIEA have stated that the draft reconciliation figures may be subject to change.

4 Financial, Equality, Legal, HR and Other Implications 4.1 As Council are well within their allowances for the scheme year, there will be no financial implications.

5 Recommendations 5.1 Members are asked to note the contents of this report.

Inspection of licence applications can be requested under the provisions of Regulation 8 of the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 by anybody who holds statutory objector status. Applications may be inspected free of charge at the Transport Regulation Unit office in Belfast by any person who carries written authorisation to act in that capacity.

Objections against published applications may be made in writing by a Chief Officer of PSNI, a District Council, a Planning Service or a prescribed trade union or association within 21 days of the date on which notice of an application is published in Applications and Decisions. Objections must be made either on the grounds that any of the requirements listed in Section 12 of the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Act (Northern Ireland) 2010 are not met and/or that a nominated operating centre will be unsuitable for use as such. A copy of the objection must be sent by the objector to the applicant at the same time that it is sent to the DfI Central Licensing Office. The onus of proof in terms of the grounds on which an objection is lodged lies with the objector.

You may fax a copy of your objection to 0113 249 7357 but please note that you must send the original signed document through the post.

Classification of Operator Licences – There are three classes of licence:

 A Restricted (R) licence authorises the use of a goods vehicle on public roads in the United Kingdom for the carriage of the licence holder’s own goods in the course of his trade or business. The licence holder cannot carry goods for other people for hire or reward;  A Standard National (SN) licence allows the licence holder to carry both his own goods and goods for other people for hire or reward, on public roads in the United Kingdom. He can also carry his own goods on journeys abroad;  A Standard International (SI) licence allows the licence holder to carry both his own goods and goods for other people for hire or reward. These activities can be undertaken both in the United Kingdom and on international journeys.

Section 3 – Schedule 1 Applications

Schedule 1 to the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Act 2010 allows, in certain situations, the transfer of operating centres from one existing licence to either another existing licence or as part of a new licence application. A range of qualifying criteria has to be met, with approval being at the Transport Regulation Unit’s discretion. An important consideration in the process is any environmental history relating to the subject operating centre or any potentially adverse environmental impact resulting from the transfer. Legislation prevents any statutory objection against the Schedule 1 element of an application.

New Applications (Section 3.1): where the Transport Regulation Unit has given a direction that the provisions of paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 shall apply, objections may only be lodged against the published application under Section 11(1)(a) of the 2010 Act, disregarding the suitability of the operating centre for use as such by the applicant as set out in Section 12(C)(5) of the Act.

Page11 213 Variation Applications (Section 3.2): where the Transport Regulation Unit has given a direction that the provisions of paragraph 4 of Schedule 1 shall apply, objections may again only be lodged against the published application under Section 11(1)(a) of the 2010 Act unless that transfer can be accommodated without any overall increase in the existing overall vehicle/trailer authorisation on the receiving licence, in which case there is no statutory requirement to publish details of that application. However, Section 3.3 does detail any such applications in order that interested parties are made aware of changes to authorised operators at listed operating centres
