Liberal Democrats Call for Changes to Draft Waste Plan
At today's County Council meeting, Surrey's Liberal Democrats urged the Council to amend its draft waste plan prior to public consultation. This is because it prioritises incineration over other technologies and identifies a preferred site for thermal treatment instead of treating all identified sites on an equal basis. Liberal Democrat Environment Spokesperson Cllr Sarah Di Caprio highlighted the flaws in the document "The Surrey Waste Plan - The Preferred Plan 2005", which the Conservative-run Executive voted last month to send out for a six-week public consultation starting October 31st.
