BRADFORD Council is to hold a number of 'information-gathering' sessions to examine how the authority can cut down on single-use plastics in the future.
Three sessions will be held in the autumn, and will feature representatives from local businesses, including major supermarket chains, as well as environmental groups.
Recommendations on how the council should treat single-use plastics will then be presented in the new year, with a view to shaping future policies for council offices and local authority-run buildings such as leisure centres.
Councillor Sarah Ferriby, Bradford Council’s executive member for healthy people and places, said: “Three information-gathering sessions have been set up in September, October and November.
“Councillors, council officers, local interest groups and interested representatives are being invited to attend.”
