What plans are there in place to deal with waste from London – is the Integrated Resource Park being built to meet this obligation?
At the moment, although some household waste from London is currently being landfilled in the Cambridgeshire area, we are not aware of any going to sites in Peterborough. The city council does not have direct control of the disposal routes for London waste; nor does London waste enter any calculations regarding quotas or fines for Peterborough. The Integrated Resource Park has therefore been designed specifically to deal with waste arising within the city councils area and for which Peterborough is responsible.
