Hackney Council has assured residents that a new incinerator used by the local authority to burn rubbish is “the least environmentally damaging” method of waste management, despite warnings that it is “the dirtiest form of power”.
Last week 35 bodies, including Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace and Sustainable Hackney, signed an open letter to cabinet ministers Ed Miliband and Steve Reed urging the government to “immediately withdraw support” for the new Edmonton incinerator in Enfield.
