In a video interview, Dr Jane Beasley of Beasley Associates and Paul Vanston of the Kent Resource Partnership discuss the barriers to waste partnerships in the UK.
“Partnership working – coming together, becoming more efficient, sharing the expertise, sharing the resources – is vital, as budgets continue to be cut… we should be coming together to share resources,” Dr Jane Beasley says.
Speaking on the Kent resource Partnership, Paul Vanston says: “We don’t have all the answers to all the questions, but one thing is clear – we’ve gone into this partnership because we want to, as a set of councils. We want to continue that partnership, but it has to be based on the money.”
