I am responding regarding Pinkham Way, on behalf of the two Green Assembly Members, myself and Jenny Jones AM.
We share your concerns about these proposals. While it is vital that we have new facilities in London to deal with waste, we do not believe that huge facilities of this size are the way forward. We are extremely concerned about the large number of lorry movements it would generate, and also believe the Waste Authority should be putting far more emphasis on encouraging recycling and processing food waste, rather than concentrating on large new facilities for unsorted waste such as this.
Please be assured we will be raising these concerns in our response to the consultation. I have also tabled a formal question to the Mayor of London.

Green Party Member, London Assembly
