SITA at the Inquiry

I am continuing to juggle the General Election campaign, my local commitments as a councillor and the Public Inquiry into the incinerator. The car is in the garage and my computer has collapsed.

Priority for Tuesday was the Inquiry and the first statement from a witness representing SITA. His name is John Scanlon and was the company witness, outlining the approach and views of the company.

I can report that it has been acknowledged that the Contract does not preclude the importation of commercial and industrial waste from outside of Cornwall and SITA were unwilling for this to be modified.

Today also saw the close of nominations for the General Election, with a Mebyon Kernow candidate in every Cornish constituency for the first time in our history.
