We are looking into the High Peak's record on recycling
and we are planning a response to their current consultation
document.
We are particularly concerned over the lack of business
recycling in the High Peak.
If you would like to contribute to this process, or have
any comments or questions, e-mail Maggie at members@highpeakfoe.org.uk
The Government is currently reviewing its
waste strategy for England and has unveiled a draft strategy
which promotes a huge increase in incineration as the answer
to our waste crisis. (Wales and Northern Ireland have their
own strategies). We already know of at least 22 new incinerator
proposals throughout the country.
Please help us change the Government's
mind!
DEFRA is holding a consultation on the
waste strategy review which closes on the 9th May. We need
you to help us make it clear to the Government that expansion
of incineration is not an acceptable way forward.
