Public Meeting Announcement
Thursday 19th July 7.30 – 9.30pm
Venue: Brighthelm Community Centre, North Road
Dump the Dump are now campaigning with other groups in the city for:
-
a rejection of the current Waste Local Plan – with its dependence on waste-bulking and incineration for waste disposal
-
the re-negotiation of the £1 billion 25 year Integrated Waste Contract with Veolia Environmental Services – to deliver technology that is fit for the future in Brighton & Hove and East Sussex
We believe that the Council should follow the lead of other authorities - who are developing more sustainable alternatives for dealing with their waste
We are launching our commitment to a more sustainable Waste Local Plan at the Public Meeting on Thursday 19th July.
We will have speakers against incineration and waste-bulking, and in favour of other greener waste management solutions.
We will send a further email shortly when titles of presentations have been confirmed.
