Equality Impact Assessment

The eleven Councils in the Eastern region of Northern Ireland, which includes Antrim Borough Council, are committed to fulfilling their responsibilities under Section 75 of the Northern Ireland Act (1998), the Equality duty. The Councils, in response to this requirement, have developed Equality Schemes that have been approved by the Equality Commission. This establishes the approach the Councils will take in assessing the equality impact of their policies and procedures.

The aim of the Eastern Region Waste Management Plan is to "ensure facilities are provided that meet the needs of the people in the Councils in the Eastern Region and that European and UK targets for waste reduction, recycling and recovery are achieved."
