Bishop’s Castle biomass fight group pledge on use of land
Thursday 2nd February 2012, 10:59AM GMT.
Campaigners who won a battle to stop a controversial biomass plant in Bishop’s Castle today vowed to work with Shropshire Council to find the best use for the vacant land.
Council leader Keith Barrow pledged on Tuesday no other company would be approached to build a plant on Bishop’s Castle Business Park.
Negotiations between developers Bishop’s Castle Biomass Power Ltd and council bosses broke down last month, to the delight of those against the £5 million scheme.
Karen Bavastock, chairman of the group which fought the plans, said: “In light of Keith Barrow’s pledge to the town that the council has no intention of using the existing land and, indeed, the current planning permission which ends in September for biomass, it is a great relief.
“I welcome the opportunity to work more constructively and openly with the council in the future and achieve something which benefits the town, the council and indeed our very special community.
“We have some great ideas to enhance the whole of the town and need to collate ideas from local people,” she added.
