ISLANDERS will have their say on the development of the Longue Hougue waste plant site.

MORE than 300 people attended last evening’s presentation of an alternative plan for dealing with the island’s refuse.

PUBLIC SERVICES failed in its attempt to get the builder of Guernsey’s proposed incinerator to take on full liability if the plant broke down during the 25-year contract, it has emerged.

GUERNSEY could be forced to cut back spending in other areas if the States locks itself into a deal for a proposed material recovery facility and energy-from-waste plant, according to the Guernsey Climate Action Network.

GATE fees will have to rise by 50% to pay for Public Services’ preferred waste plant, according to a financial expert.

PLANS for a 70,000-tonne waste plant are inappropriate, according to an independent group set up to scrutinise the tender process.

THE waste plant proposals are set to face challenges in the House.

PUBLIC Services and its people’s panel are on a collision course over the publication of a potentially critical waste report.

PROGRESS towards building a waste plant is around a year and four months behind predictions.

GUERNSEY could still share an energy-from-waste plant in Jersey.
