THE States gave the go-ahead for a £93.5m waste facility late this afternoon.

HUNDREDS of islanders marched from Salerie Corner to the Bridge yesterday to protest against the proposed incinerator.

A PROTEST march against plans for a large incinerator will be held next Sunday.

DOUBTS have intensified over the suitability of the Rational Alternative scheme to solve Guernsey’s waste problem.

FOLLOWING public presentations by the Public Services Department of its proposals for a solid-waste plant, and the presentation by a group putting forward what it describes as the Rational Alternative, we present visitors to This is Guernsey with the chance to view both groups’ presentations.

THE Rational Alternative waste scheme is deeply flawed, according to Public Services board member Deputy Tony Spruce.

HOUSING minister Dave Jones will take the Rational Alternative scheme for dealing with the island’s waste to the States for debate, he has confirmed.

A DOCTOR accused of being unscientific and scaremongering over the health risk posed by incinerators yesterday defended the science behind his claims.

Earlier this month, we suggested that growing opposition to Public Services’ £90m.-plus waste solution meant that the department would be well advised to have a plan B up its sleeve.

PREPARATORY work for the energy-from-waste plant at Longue Hougue started this week.
