Environmental firm accused of 'ignoring consultation responses'

Environmental experts in Liverpool stand accused of ignoring the responses to a recent consultation relating to several potential landfill sites in the city.

According to the Liverpool Post, Merseyside Waste Environmental Advisory Service (MEAS) consulted on the sites earlier this year.

However, an "overwhelming number of responses" opposed the Wirral landfill plans.

Despite this, a report published by MEAS, containing the results of the consultation, recommended that two sites are investigated further.

Moreton councillor Chris Blakeley told the newspaper: "Not only are we paying towards this report, but then they are ignoring what we say to them."

Mr Blakeley said that he and fellow councillors would be writing to local residents urging them to oppose the sites.

Meanwhile, it was reported last week that several landfills in Aberdeen are set to be regenerated as part of a £15 million initiative to reduce environmental damage.
