The West of England Partnership (WEP) comprises of the four unitary Authorities of Bath and North East Somerset (B&NES), Bristol City (BCC), North Somerset (NS) and South Gloucestershire (SG)[1].

The West of England Partnership was formed to help these authorities to work together and co-ordinate high level planning to improve the quality of life of their residents and provide for a growing population[2]. The four Authorities within the Partnership have statutory responsibility for the collection, recycling, treatment, disposal and planning of municipal waste management[1].

The Authorities believe working in Partnership offers them economic, environmental and social advantages, including:

  • Maximising economies of scale;
  • Minimising environmental impacts;
  • Minimising transport requirements; and
  • Providing best value for the tax payer[1].

The Partnership intends to also greatly improve the self sufficiency of waste management in the area[1].

The West of England Partnership focuses on developments that are better planned in the scale of the west of England as opposed to individual council level[2].

Summer next year will see the combination of the West of England Partnership and the West of England Local Enterprise Partnership[2].
