Norfolk incinerator bill wrangle could continue until after Christmas

Norfolk County Council voted by 48 votes to 30 to complete the contract to the proposed incinerator at Saddlebow at an extraordinary meeting in April.

Council officers had stated that, due to delays in securing planning permission, the controversial project no longer provided good value for money, and councillors agreed to ditch it. That included #20.3m to Cory Wheelabrator – the firm which would have built and run the burner; public inquiry costs of #1.6m and estimated interest related expenses of #11.8m.

The initial #11.8m of that invoice was paid in July, but council bosses are locked in months of discussions regarding the fine details of the contract and just how much that means the council must pay Cory Wheelabrator. In September, it was announced the compensation would be”considerably lower” than the #20.3m initially estimated.

But at a meeting this week, Tom McCabe, interim manager of environment, transportation and development at Norfolk County Council, told councillors the final figure had yet to be agreed.

He explained:”The discussion with Cory Wheelabrator is ongoing and we would expect to have it resolved by Christmas.

“It’s premature to say it’ll be done by then, though. It could be achieved before that or it could drag on for longer.” Norfolk County Council is still trying to think of a long-term remedy to how to deal with the county’s waste.

However, in the short-term, a deal was struck with their counterparts in Suffolk for crap to be burnt in a newly-built incinerator in Great Blakenham.

Over the next year, about 40,000 tonnes of Norfolk’s staying household waste will be hauled down the A140 to be burnt at the plant.

Ebola: Southport firm leading the fight in International health crisis

“Their engineers usually go out to help with installation but as a result of the Ebola threat, engineers employed by aid organisations and agencies are being sent to be trained up at the plant in Canning Road Industrial Estate rather than

Mr Niklas added:”They contacted us when the outbreak started a few months ago. But we are geared up for these things, anyway. The last time demand was like this was that the Iraq War. We have set up a distinct plant when it does occur we could manage it.”

British Army medics were shipped to Sierra Leone yesterday since global leaders promised to measure the international community’s attempts to stop the spread of the disease that has up to now taken more than 4,000 lives.

Sales and advertising director Paul Niklas said they’d more than a hundred orders from global organisations and aid agencies, including the United Nations and the Red Cross.

He said most of their work force was committed to fabricating the incinerators.

Mr Niklas said:”We are really proud of the fact they have come to us and we have a item that’s part of the solution.

“Because this has to be contained at the source.

“As soon as you begin trying to maneuver waste, it can spread further and farther.

“Our incinerators burn 850 degrees Celsius that burns the toxins, then in the second room they burn the gases from that at 1,200 levels so what is coming from the chimney is clean.

“Along with our incinerators are portable, too, so they can be carried to the source”
