| The [[West of England Partnership]] ([[WEP]]) comprises of the four [[Local Authority|Unitary Authorities]] of [[Bath and North East Somerset Council]] (B&NES), [[Bristol City Council]] (BCC), [[North Somerset Council]] (NS) and [[South Gloucestershire Council]] (SG)<ref name="foo">West of England Partnership, 2008. [https://www.westofengland.org/media/103810/woe_joint_waste_strategy_may2008_long.pdf. Joint Residual Municiple Waste Management Strategy.]</ref>.

| The West of England Partnership was formed to help these authorities to work together and co-ordinate high level planning to improve the quality of life of their residents and provide for a growing population<ref name="foo2">West of England Partnership, 2019. [https://www.westofengland.org/ Welcome to the West of England Partnership website | West of England Partnership. Westofengland.org.] [online] [Accessed 2 Dec. 2019].</ref>. The four Authorities within the Partnership have statutory responsibility for the collection, recycling, treatment, disposal and planning of municipal waste management<ref name="foo"/>.
| |
| | |
| The Authorities believe working in Partnership offers them economic, environmental and social advantages, including:
| |
| *Maximising economies of scale;
| |
| *Minimising environmental impacts;
| |
| *Minimising transport requirements; and
| |
| *Providing best value for the tax payer<ref name="foo"/>.
| |
| | |
| The Partnership intends to also greatly improve the self sufficiency of waste management in the area<ref name="foo"/>.
| |
| | |
| The West of England Partnership focuses on developments that are better planned in the scale of the west of England as opposed to individual council level<ref name="foo2"/>.
| |
| | |
| Summer next year will see the combination of the West of England Partnership and the [[West of England Local Enterprise Partnership]]<ref name="foo2"/>.
