Parkwood update

As explained in the March issue of the Messenger, Parkwood landfill site operators Viridor have applied for planning permission to dump active waste on the land they lease from the Council near the ski slope.

An exhibition to explain the proposal will be staged by the company on 5–6 April at Shirecliffe Community Centre, from 4 to 8 pm, when Viridor staff will be present to answer questions.

Viridor told the Messenger that they want to take into account what local people have to say when they finalise their plans.

Parkwood Landfill Action Group argue that although Viridor is not planning to expand the total capacity of the site, the amount of active waste that can be dumped there will be increased if the planning application succeeds.
