However, the Kent Resource Partnership has established for itself: -

• Joint work on reducing costs is mutually essential.
• We protect our interests e.g. legal, money, performance, taxpayers.
• We maximise our ‘clout’ with private sector and government.
• External funding is scarce – increase our chances together.
• Are there really any better alternatives to managing costs/performance?

Why does the Partnership exist?

urce: Dr Jane Beasley, independent review report into the KRP, February 2015

• Joint working between Kent councils

– East and Mid Kent Project: Efficiencies + Improved Performance

• Approx. £10 million in external funds into services & communications

– £1 million from WRAP and private sector bodies – £8.8 million from DCLG

• Substantial ‘clout’ with government and supply chain

– ‘At the negotiating table’ on behalf of local gov’t (e.g. formation of Regulations). – Ministerial attention and support for Kent initiatives

• KRP colleagues influencing national agenda

– Advisory Committee on Packaging (ACP) – Local Authority Recycling Advisory Committee (LARAC) – National Association of Waste Disposal Organisations (NAWDO) – WRAP: Courtauld 2025, Food Waste, Communications, Plastics, Electricals, Textiles – Resource Association – Chartered Institution of Wastes Management

How is the KRP effecting change?
