We all need to work together to tackle problems and realise our shared ambitions for Cardiff.\u201d<br \/>\nThere are worries the savings could exacerbate the issue of fly-tipping in the city.<br \/>\nNeil McEvoy, Independent Councillor for Fairwater, said: \u201cWe would invest in recycling by re-opening the Waungron Road Recycling Centre.<br \/>\n\u201cThe results of the closure of the centre is there for all to see. Fly-tipping is everywhere. We would also bring back community skips.\u201d<br \/>\nCoun Weaver said some of the savings would be balanced out by other spending commitments: \u201cI am pleased we are able to spend \u00a3312,000 on \u201cblitz\u201d cleaning, and also pilot new street cleansing technology.<br \/>\n\u201cWe are also creating another street cleansing team working 2pm-10pm to help in areas with evening food outlets.\u201d<br \/>\nThe other major saving to the environment budget is a \u00a3500,000 cut in funds for council vehicles, which the council believe can be achieved through a review of vehicle purchasing and maintenance.<br \/>\nThe council also plans to raise more income. The most notable income generator in the environment budget is an increase in fees for bereavement services, which are predicted to raise \u00a3301,000.<br \/>\nCouncillor Adrian Robson, leader of the Conservatives in Cardiff Council, said: \u201cThe whole budget needs to be looked at. There are other opportunities for income generation.<br \/>\n\u201cThe council tax rise is too high, each line in the budget should be looked over carefully.<br \/>\n\u201cThe council are bringing in tougher charges for fly-tipping, if this brings in more money it should be used to reduce the rise in council tax.\u201d<br \/>\nThe budget will go to a full council meeting for approval on Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CARDIFF Council are proposing to cut more than \u00a34m from the environment, planning and transport budget.
