What discussions has the Welsh Government had with Ty Coch waste transfer station following the indication to provide up to £2 million in funding to assist refurbishment of this site?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Climate Change
As with all Local Authorities who are working to meet the next 70% minimum recycling target by 2024-25, the Welsh Government is working closely with Torfaen Council, supporting it in developing the infrastructure it needs to provide an efficient, effective, and comprehensive recycling service. The Welsh Government has agreed ‘in principle’ to support up to 50% of the final tendered price of extending Torfaen’s recycling facility, subject to a cap of £2m and further work being undertaken by the Authority on the performance improvements that will be delivered.
