Correct Youngmafbog, but despite the EU levies on landfill, guess what, it is big business. A Long term business plan granted. The landfill sites are usually areas that are unsuitable for building or development, some are even places that have been gravel pits, quarries, clay pits, etc etc. Now when these landfill sites have been levelled or filled with this waste, using safe and controlled methods, the reclaimed land is usually worth a fortune. In this area I know of 4 such council tip locations that now house a football ground and coach park, and new school on one, a brand new industrial estate on another, a housing development that encompasses both social and private housing on yet another. My point here is, the Councils keep very quiet when this land is ultimately sold on. Where does this huge cash windfall go? Pension pots and staff pay doubt. It never finds it's way back into the "services" that generated it now does it. Whilst all this is happening of course the Councils pretend to be acting in our best interests as ever....... as if. The private companies can do the job at half the Council price, and make a damn good long term business plan work without the constant moaning, and virtue signalling political undertones, that are the Council stock in trade.
