The West of England Partnership (WEP) comprises of the four Unitary Authorities of Bath and North East Somerset Council (B&NES), Bristol City Council (BCC), North Somerset Council (NS) and South Gloucestershire Council (SG)[1].
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[2]. The four Authorities within the Partnership have statutory responsibility for the collection, recycling, treatment, disposal and planning of municipal waste management[1].
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[1].
The Partnership intends to also greatly improve the self sufficiency of waste management in the area[1].
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[2].
Summer next year will see the combination of the West of England Partnership and the West of England Local Enterprise Partnership[2].
