Plans outlined for huge London waste plants

15 October 2008

North London Waste Authority has announced plans to submit an outline business case to DEFRA by the end of the month to secure £520M in PFI funding.

Members of the NLWA will be asked to formally approve the business case at a meeting on 29 October, so it can be submitted for funding before the 31 October deadline for the current round of PFI awards.

Plans include the provision of two MBT facilities, a combined heat and power plant, two new materials-recycling facilities, and both composting and anaerobic digestion plants. Four new and refurbished household waste and recycling centres would also be developed, as well as a sustainable transport solution for waste involving rail and/or water transport.

Chair of NLWA, Councillor Clyde Loakes, said: ‘The NLWA is seeking a 21st century solution to managing waste in the area.’
