The Department provides strong support for the UK aerospace sector through the Aerospace Growth Partnership. As part of this we have created a more certain environment to drive increased investment in R&D, through a £1.95billion Government commitment over 13 years to 2026, matched by industry, to fund new R&D projects. This funding, guided by the Aerospace Technology Institute, supports investment in new technologies to reduce aircraft noise.<\/p>
A large proportion of the 206 projects contracted so far, worth over £1.8billion, are concerned with new technologies to reduce noise from aircraft engines, propellers, rotors, wings and landing gear.<\/p>
These projects are focused on delivering demanding international noise reduction goals and ensure UK aerospace companies are leading the technological evolution to achieve these.<\/p>"}

We have not carried out an assessment of these proposals. There is a long established precedent of free access for local residents to deposit household waste at household waste recycling centres.

<\/p>
Where local authorities charge for the deposit of non-household items at Household Waste Recycling Centres, this should be done in line with the Controlled Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2012. Where charges are proposed, they should be proportionate and transparent and made in consultation with local residents so that local services meet local needs.<\/p>"}
