There are a large and complete series of the WRA reports (LWRA/B) produced by the LWRA which are supported by a detailed index. The index is arranged both chronologically and as an alphabetical sequence, giving the report (WRA) number and the committee that considered the report, along with the date the committee sat, so they can be used in conjunction with the committee minutes for the relevant meeting.

It should be noted that the committee reports have been divided into two sequences. At some point the reports presented to the Executive Committee were extracted into a separate series. Both series run in chronological order and are numbered. The detailed index provides and entry into the reports. However it is worth checking both series for a particular report.

The Clerks Department files (LWRA/D) were a separate filing system maintained by the London Fire and Civil Defence Authority on behalf of the LWRA. The original filing system has been retained although many of these files contained copies of the reports found in LWRA/B/02, so duplicate copies have not been retained. A small sample of files has been retained as examples.

This includes publications about waste including 'Today's Waste, Tomorrow's Resources': The Waste Management Plan for Greater London 1995 - 2015, a series of transcripts of the annual conference held by LWRA as well as staff handbooks and Health and Safety guidelines.
