Cheshire Councils to Seek Judicial Review against Government’s PFI Decision - Viridor Response
Posted 10 Jan 2011
Viridor, the provisional preferred bidder for the Waste Treatment contract for Cheshire West and Chester and Cheshire East authorities, is aware of the joint authorities’ decision to seek a judicial review against the Government’s decision to cut over £100million in PFI credits from the project.
Symon Grasby, responsible for the Viridor bid said, “Viridor has been working closely with the Cheshire Authorities to ensure that its service proposals for the effective management of household waste offer a value for money and practicable solution for Cheshire’s residents.“
He added, “We will continue to provide every assistance to the two authorities to try and ensure that a swift and favourable resolution is reached.”
Viridor’s proposal at Lostock Works is for a Mechanical and Biological Treatment (MBT) facility that will safely treat residual waste, recovering recyclables and providing a source of solid recovered fuel that can be used to generate electricity at the nearby Runcorn combined heat and power plant, currently under construction. The Lostock site received planning permission in November 2010.
