Cardiff Against the Incinerator Statement Oct 2013


Statement from CATI - Cardiff Against the Incinerator 

 
Judge Curran has knocked a big hole in Cardiff Council's plan to sign a contract with Viridor;  
in finding the company acted unlawfully in starting building works last July, 
action that Cardiff Council condoned by refusing to stop it. 
We look forward to the full emergency hearing, but in the meantime are pressing the Welsh government to withhold their £105 million grant on two grounds:
... that Viridor is not a fit-and-proper person to hold a public waste contract and
... that their £105 million is illegal 'state aid' until ntieid to and approve by Brussels"

We welcome the parallel action against the Welsh government by FOE
