'Eco Park' - Private Eye Puts 'Rotten Boroughs' Spotlight on SCC

Rate this item
(20 votes)

Private Eye

The 'Rotten Boroughs' section of Today's edition of Private Eye puts the spotlight on Surrey County Council's obstinate refusal to back down over the installation of an incinerator at the Charlton Lane Community Recycling Centre; this, despite huge opposition both from local residents and Spelthorne Borough Council.

Private Eye has a circulation of around 0.25 million with a readership of perhaps double that, including members of the media, members of Parliament and, of course, the Surrey electorate. To view the article, click here

Quite apart from the now proven health-damaging implications associated with incinerators which are situated near centres of population, a key concern of this Association is, and has always been, the safety both of visitors to the proposed 'Eco Park', its employees and residents living in the vicinity. A LOSRA Committee member who has been very active in pursuing this particular concern has again written to the Health and Safety Executive and his letter may be viewed by clicking here

    This was obviously going to be a result of changing SCC to a cabinet organisation. As you imply, this is not the first seemingly undemocratic decision. Even the leader was censored for decisions over the Prudential Cycle event running for 5 years.

    Soon they'll be taking a decision on cutting the Fire Service in half - without the votes of anyone from Spelthorne.
    And they've asked to buy Green Belt land for the new fire station, when they haven't even formally taken the vote yet.
    Why do they even bother with going through the motions? Why not just be honest and declare themselves Oligarchs-for-Life?
