What a tangled web we weave...

Kevin Lavery letter to incinerator planning inspector
Well, I guess that clears that up....except that it doesn't. A question you hear a lot in St Dennis is who, precisely, asked David Owens to write to the planning inspector in the first place? It certainly wasn't the Cabinet waste portfolio holder, councillor Julian German.

Another question concerns the very strong pro-incinerator views expressed in the letter, quite specific to the Sita planning application under consideration at the inquiry, and the official council policy - which simply asks for a revised waste disposal scheme somewhere in mid-Cornwall.

Costs of losing the Sita contract? Estimated by the council at £200million.
Costs of losing the planning inquiry? Depends how long it takes but probably about £1million, for which there is almost certainly insurance (I have asked the council to clarify the insurance position.)

Just hold that thought.
