"On Monday 2 November 2009, Haringey Council's Civic Centre, High Road, Wood Green, N22 8LE will host a drop-in session between 2pm and 8pm, for residents to discuss the various options in the draft North London Waste Plan.
"The draft plan suggests that most of the new facilities needed can be accommodated on sites which are currently used for dealing with waste. However, some additional sites will be needed, and the draft plan identifies a shortlist of the most suitable sites, which has been produced following a rigorous assessment process.
"They include:
Site: Friern Barnet STW (Pinkham Way)
Borough: Haringey
Site area: 6.21 hectares"
Our comment:
"Public consultation?
"Right, that's dealt with THAT, then. Jolly good. Carry on to next stage."

(Comments by Haringey Councillor Nilgun Canver in 2009)
"Well-designed facilities can bring many benefits and opportunities. It's crucial that we find the right sites, and put in place the right policies.
"Well-designed facilities can bring many benefits and opportunities. It's crucial that we find the right sites, and put in place the right policies.
"We must ensure that the new waste facilities that we need are well designed, good neighbours, fit for purpose, and create opportunities for new jobs, new types of green industries, and for local heat and energy systems that can help in the fight against climate change."
[Earlier 'Pinkham Way Incinerator' editorial:
This web site is happy to report comments like this by councillors and members of the public. However, we take the view that "local heat and energy" from residual domestic waste is a bad idea - as is "distant heat and energy" from that source, for that matter.
Pinkham Way may produce incinerator fuel for a 'gasifying incinerator' elsewhere. Please see the anti-incinerator arguments on UKWIN.
Another factor is that the north London boroughs find it difficult to "put in place the right policies", since they do not control the detailed use of the sites, beyond planning law - that is the responsibility of the North London Waste Authority. The NLWA, in turn, says it is "technology-neutral", and will choose between what the waste industry offers it, when companies bid for the 25 to 35-year NLWA contracts.]
