Suffolk is now at the “Final Consultation” stage of its “Waste Core Strategy”.  You can make your views known at the County www site.  The strategy identifies sites for waste processing facilities and additional landfill capacity.  Our main problems are that it seeks to allocate two sites in Gt Blakenham, one for the proposed County Council Incinerator at the Highways Depot and the other for commercial use at Mason’s Quarry.  Two sites in the area appear too much even if you accept incineration as an appropriate technology.  I do not.

A public fact finding session has been arrange for our area by Suffolk County Council at Gt. Blakenham Village Hall in the form of a drop in session on Tuesday 8th September between the hours of 15.00 hrs and 20.00 hours.  Please attend, hear what is intended and make your views heard.

Suffolk Liberal democrats are opposed to Incineration as a means of waste treatment at Gt Blakenham or anywhere else.  We have set up a petition at http://suffolkcclibdems.org.uk where you can record your view and ensure we have evidence of local opinion to use in our campaign to get the County Conservatives to change their mind.
