ARGYLL & BUTE COUNCIL POLICY & RESOURCES COMMITTEE LEGAL AND REGULATORY SUPPORT 8 May 2025 EXTRACT OF MINUTE ENVIRONMENT, DEVELOPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE HELD ON 20 MARCH 2024 *10. HELENSBURGH WASTE TRANSFER STATION PROJECT UPDATE The Committee gave consideration to a report providing an update on the Helensburgh Waste Transfer Station project following the completion of the Options Appraisal and making a recommendation in relation to the next steps for this project and associated budgets. Decision The Environment, Development and Infrastructure Committee – 1. noted that the proposed Helensburgh Waste Transfer Station no longer provided the optimum solution to ensure Biodegradable Municipal Waste compliant disposal arrangements in the Helensburgh and Lomond area; 2. agreed that officers should not progress further with the development and delivery of the Helensburgh Waste Transfer Station Project; 3. recommended to the Policy and Resources Committee that the remainder of the £3m of budget earmarked for this project be retained to support other funding related pressures within the waste service; and 4. noted that should circumstances change, specifically the cost benefit ratio, that the scheme could be revisited.
