A Dark Day for Local Democracy as SCC Approves Incinerator

A Dark Day for Local Democracy as SCC Approves IncineratorSurrey County Council has ignored local people, technical experts and even its own consultants to give the go-ahead to a high-risk waste gasifier on the same site as the Charlton Lane waste Recycling Centre.

The Incinerator and Anaerobic Digester, a potentially explosive combination, has never been co-located on one site before and the incineration technology is unproven to burn household waste. The truth is that the Eco Park is an experiment with Shepperton and Sunbury residents the unwilling guinea pigs. Indeed, a member of the Surrey Planning Committee even suggested in an email that residents should consider moving if they don't like it!

Why is this happening? It's all about corporate greed with the health & wellbeing of residents coming a poor second. For more on this story and further action, visit: http://satep.co.uk/

    Sounds like a case for Judicial Review! LOSRA would need to act fast though as he deadlines are normally short, adn pre-action protocol needs to be observed before applying for permission to make a claim.
