The final current petition is PE661, on the containerisation of waste. The petition calls on the Scottish Parliament to take the necessary steps to ensure effective and detailed consultation by, and public accountability of, local authorities in implementing containerisation-of-waste programmes.At its meeting on 12 November 2003, the committee agreed to seek the views of the City of Edinburgh Council, which has now provided details of the consultation exercises that it carried out on the containerisation of waste. The council also states that, in correspondence with the council, the petitioner did not say that he felt that there was a lack of consultation on the proposals. Do members have any comments?

Given that the City of Edinburgh Council's thorough response answers the points raised in the petition, we do not need to take any further action.
