New Head of Waste Management at DOI

I see they have appointed a new head of waste management at DOI.

I wonder whether we will now get a decent Waste Strategy and improved waste reduction and recycling.

There was even some talk of the Circular Economy but I haven't seen any information about that.

Looks like her plan might just be to eat all the waste

One has to wonder if this could have been handled by the current staff???

Of course, she could be an internal promotion?

She has worked for government for several years in a similar role but in a different department.

Previously Environment Protection Officer, so, on the face of it, an internal promotion.

Oh! must be a sister to Pippa Greenwood, an expert on Gardeners Question Time on Radio 4, so she must know how to compost?

Who was the previous Head of Waste management and have they retired/departed?

Or is this position newly created to head up a "new strategy"?

Should all sit in DEFA

That’s where she has just come from.  
 

Could be it’s just a shift of function from one department to another.

Could be just more  bullshit position

The DOI have had big problems recently with coal tar in roads, look at the balthane industrial estate roundabout for example. Hopefully having somebody in place now will help with instances of this occuring, of which it is shocking there was no plan or any agreements for storing coal tar until recently.

Stephanie Gray retired.

I think it would have been better to appoint somebody who has worked elsewhere and seen things done in a different way.

I know that but just seem needless bureaucracy having multiple Departments involved, one for setting legislation/policy and then another for 'doing'. They should all be in DEFA including animal waste etc

There should have been Annual Statements of Need since 2019. I can see nothing on DOI website.

And also there no sign of the promised Technical Reports during that time.
