ST DENNIS NEEDS INDEPENDENT LEGAL ADVICE FOR INCINERATOR APPEAL

September 12, 2009 12:00 PM

STIG GroupLib Dem campaigner and Parliamentary candidate Steve Gilbert has welcomed the news that Cornwall Council intends to be "robust" in the defence of the original decision to reject the incinerator planned for St Dennis and has called on the Council to make funds available so that local people can employ their own legal representative.

Steve Gilbert said, "I've written to the Council asking for them to make funds available for the community in St Dennis to employ their own legal representative."

He added, "For too long now it has been a David and Goliath battle with people in St Dennis going up against the legal and financial might of SITA."

"Now we know that the issue is likely to be determined on legal and technical grounds out of the hands of Councillors in Cornwall and I'm asking the Council to help level the playing field and provide some funds for St Dennis to have its own independent legal representation."

    If you are a resident of the St Austell and Newquay constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
