How London tackles its waste is a critical issue not only for us but also for the London our children will live and work in. For the last four years, the Environment Committee has been carefully tracking the Mayor's emerging Municipal Waste Management Strategy. In September 2003 the Mayor published his final version of this strategy. Buried in the back of this extensive document is an Implementation Plan, which sets out who is expected to do what in terms of delivering sustainable waste management for London. The report's research examines the Implementation Plan in detail and tests it for delivery gaps or overlaps by interviewing London's waste players. The report's main finding is that to achieve its 2005 recycling targets, London needs active leadership. The report concludes that this should come from the Mayor working in partnership with key players through London Waste Action.
