LOCAL MP Andrew Murrison has written to the chancellor Jeremy Hunt following the Spring Budget urging him to look at discouraging the construction of new waste burners.
In his letter the MP, who has long campaigned against the incinerator that Northacre Renewable Energy wants to build at Westbury, said, “I would strongly urge you to critically examine public subsidies for waste burners and in so doing create the possibility of both environmental benefit and substantial financial headroom for the Treasury.”
