AD is a great technology and should be much more utilised around the UK to create green jobs and green electricity

you see Conservatives are being green, well done to our fantastic conservative MP for this, and Daniel is doing a great job for shrewsbury making it greener too, when we get in we will have weekly bin collections all across Shropshire and less council tax too, we will be green but mean and lean with the cash too, we are so good at getting efficientcy you see, not like loony lefty labour who spend money on silly social projects with no return, you will see all this recycling nonesense will go and we will slash taxes for everyone, especailly clown browns awful 45 p for the upper band

you must be joking maco – these get double roc’s you know that means a subsidy of ca 7p per unit of electricity they generate, plus you can sell the heat also, further every tonne they process reduces the need for about £80 worth of landfill costs, so they are (abeit through a rediculously favourable fiscal regime through a government who seems keen to be seen to be green on electricity) so they are way better than say wind turbines in terms of profitable and simple green electricity, but… only becauseof massive public subsidy which conservatives are historically opposed too

Well done, Ludlow.

We need this sort of technology to be introduced all over the country.

We need a green industrial revolution, and technology like this is a rational way of dealing with our increasing mountains of waste, and making it work for us.

It will therefore be both popular and sustainable.

Let’s hope this example inspires other councils, who favour incineration, to think outside the box.

why are the council in shrewsbury proposing mass burn incineration when there are great technologies like this available instead, as huw says, think outside the box shropshire county council, see if you can ‘learn some best practice’ from south shropshire, incineration is a health hazard and likely to be taxed in future along with landfill to encourage more recycling, so what on earth are they doing risking our health and public wealth on a risky dodgy investment like a mass burn incinerator, yet if we have a bonfire, guess what, the council so no, because ITS A HEALTH HAZARD!!

if the MP is so keen will he commit the conservatives to funding more AD plants, will he support say £5 on council tax for all to fund weekly food waste collections across all the UK, will he support green taxes to disuade people from landfilling or incinerating waste, will he support regulations against supermarkets on packaging???
Will he???
or is he just another same old tory, low taxes, low levels of services, pro business, low regulation, no environmental protection??

Labour boy spoke about CO2 emissions.

What does he think of the Labour government giving the go-ahead to the biggest expansion in aviation in a generation?

£2million for 5,000 tonnes of waste, that’s a snip at £400 per tonne!! Veolia plan to build a £60 million pound burner in Harlescott to deal with 90,000 tonnes of waste, thats £666 per tonne! Plus thats just the half of it, with it being a PFI deal the council is effectively buying it on a credit card, so expect interest rate repayments in the region of 50%, this is madness and shows their maths dont stack up

Report abuse

why do you want food waste collections, compost, keep pigs, keep chickens, feed the birds. tut tut

Report abuse

certainly people should compost at home, btu i hope the council does weekly food waste collections across all of shropshire soon as this is just what we need for jobs, green power and techonological advancement for UK PLC

looks like its virtually unanimous that Shropshire needs more Anaerobic Digestors, are the powers that be listening!!!!!!??????
