Cabinet considered an update on the Strategic Review of Post-16 Education in Powys and the results of an extensive engagement programme undertaken with learners, parents, carers, school staff, governors, Further Education (FE) colleges and employers. An independent research company Opinion Research Services (ORS) had been commissioned to collect responses, and 3,739 questionnaire responses had been received.

The aspiration was to create a coherent 14+ education system that is excellent, equitable and economically aligned; one that offers young people real choice, real opportunity and a strong reason to build their future in Powys. The report set out a timeline leading to implementation from September 2029 to September 2031. The Cabinet Member for a Learning Powys thanked the Learning and Skills Scrutiny Committee for their recommendations.

RESOLVED 1. Following the review to continue with the booking system and charges for some DIY materials at the Household Recycling Centres. 2. To continue to monitor the contracts to drive continuous improvement of the Household Recycling Centre service in line with the Sustainable Resource (Waste and Recycling) Strategy.

Issues raised in the survey process had been shared with the contractors to see where improvements can be made, with the following improvements already introduced: • an increase in opening times at some sites • an increase in the number of bookings per time slot at some sites, where required • an option to request assistance on site in advance, via the booking system • improving the process of booking improving re-use at some of the sites. The report had been considered by the ERC Scrutiny Committee which had made a number of recommendations, all of which had been accepted. RESOLVED 1. Following the review to continue with the booking system and charges for some DIY materials at the Household Recycling Centres. 2.
