The NLWA is made up of 14 councillors, 2 from each of the 7 North London boroughs (Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Hackney, Haringey, Islington and Waltham Forest). It is these 14 councillors that ultimately make decisions relating to the disposal of North London's waste.
The Authority meets 5 times a year but additional meetings can be held if necessary. An Urgency Committee has also been established to meet and consider appropriate business where necessary.
Waste disposal services are delivered through a contract with LondonWaste Ltd - a company which is wholly owned by the NLWA.
The NLWA does not employ any staff directly, but makes the following cross-borough arrangements for support services:-
London Borough of Camden
Clerk
Financial Adviser
Legal Adviser
London Borough of Haringey
Technical Adviser
Valuation Adviser
Client Group ( 12 Full Time Staff)
