Charles Hendry has written to Councillor Matthew Lock

'.. We are the largest waste management and recycling business in the UK and we are planning to maximise recycling, composting and energy from waste. In Sussex specifically, we are constructing a number of new facilities which will open over the next two years. Beyond that time period, our use of landfill will be minimal and can be served by existing landfill sites ..'

'.. In such circumstances, it must surely make sense to recognise now that there is no future for landraise in East Sussex and that the plans should be dropped ..'

With all this opposition in mind one has to wonder why ESCC continues with their manifestly flawed policies; wasting everyones time and money pursuing unworkable proposals in the face of all logic to the contrary

Furthermore, would ESCC like to let us know just how much this whole fisaco has cost so that we can all see for ourselves just how ESCC goes about determining 'best value' for the taxpayers?
