Pinkham Way Alliance on "Barnet Vehicles" [plus our comment]


"Barnet Council want to re-locate their fleet of vehicles from Mill Hill [East], to Pinkham Wood in Haringey, [outside] the borough.

"The fleet consists of:
  • 41 rubbish trucks
  • 35 recycling trucks
  • 18 street cleaning vans
  • 8 mechanical sweepers
  • 25 passenger transport vehicles (minibuses)."


We say:
QUOTE FROM BARNET WEBSITE (click on the image above):

"72% of your total household waste can be recycled from home in Barnet."

Across the boroughs, that would mean Pinkham Wood (a "black-bag" waste depot) would not be needed.

Why therefore sign "25-35 year contracts", with guaranteed waste quantities, and guaranteed calorific values (that is, including plastics and paper) for the incinerator-fuel produced at Pinkham Wood?
