Due to rising national inflation and wage
pressures within waste industry and collections sector, an agreed
pay settlement between the Council’s contractor Biffa and the
GMB Union in August 2022 averted the threat of summer holiday
strike action for waste services in Arun. The result is that a
virement of inflation contingency budget is required for this
financial year to meet the increased costs of the Combined
Cleansing Services Contract.
