| Project Summary: |
|
In 2018 we developed a Waste Disposal Authority (WDA) Plan for Leicestershire County Council, published in 2019. The Plan enabled a strategic basis for on-going procurement and operational decisions taken by the County Council. This project followed on from our preceding works with the Leicestershire Waste Partnership, supporting the development of a Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy update in 2011. Both works have also including further areas of technical support delivered by FRM whether in the area of procurement of services or assessment of the business cases for new projects. |

‘I found FRM to have a very attentive and patient manner, crucial in respect to the project in question due to many council unknowns which had potential to cause delays. I found both Paul and Cherie brought experience and guidance that could be trusted and as such I would have no hesitation in either working with them again in the future or recommending them to others’
