GLA Environmental Committee hearing

--------------------------------------------------

Front sheet: here

Last Thursday I went along to City Hall to hear Shlomo Dowen of UKWIN (United Kingdon Without Incineration Network). I didn't enjoy the experience. Shlomo was brilliant but he was only one voice among six. Julian Walker and Dan Cooke - our paths have crossed a couple of times already - spoke with great authority. That is their skill. Professor Daryl Newport was the only partial ally Shlomo had..

It was mentioned the Beddington incinerator and a revamped Edmonton incinerator are the residual waste solutions for London for the next 25 years.

Those on the committee, asked questions and listened to responses. Caroline Russell of the Greens and Nicky Gavron (Labour) queried the logic that ruled the room but to what end? Nothing is going to change at GLA level. 

AT THE END OF THE DAY IT COMES DOWN TO THIS: WHO DO YOU CHOOSE TO BELIEVE?
