Northwood Councillor Brian Williams believes the preferred site for the new incinerator is in Kirkby but as talks about the scheme have been held behind closed doors by the Waste Authority details have yet to be made known to elected members, let alone the public.

"This is an unacceptable way to conduct business in my view," said Cllr Brian Williams, Liberal Democrat Environment Spokesman.  "The people of Kirkby have a right to know if the Waste Authority are planning for this incinerator to be built here, we already have enough problems without yet more potentially damaging plants of this nature being built in our Town.

"The Waste Authority must come clean and consult the people of Kirkby before these proposals are taken any further."
