Incinerators

There's no doubt that they are about as popular as a croc in the leisure pool but then landfill was no picnic either. So there have been some hard choices for the PC about campaigning on waste disposal.

There are two current waste schemes - the smaller, Bedfordshire BEAR project (currently 'technology neutral') and the Covanta proposal for a gigatrash processor which in a neighbourly sort of way will burn all Buckinghamshire's waste for it. The PC after a vote has decided to support in principle Our Marston Vale, the group set up to fight both these proposals. But it will not affiliate to OMV because a small local incinerator designed entirely to dispose purely of Beds waste might be the best of several bad jobs. We have reserved the right to decided on its merits. Its was a tough one and I respect those who voted for affiliation but personally I don't think its the way forward.
