COMMENT & ANALYSIS - Waste solution; LETTERS to the EDITOR.

Byline: J Spinks

I WOULD like to comment if I may on an article printed in last Friday's Daily Post on Page Two under the heading "Merseyside waste bid set to rocket".

I am rather surprised that Liverpool City Council hasn't taken a look down the East Lancs Road to see how Manchester disposes of its refuse.

Having said that, to the best of my knowledge Manchester has three or four rail connected waste disposal terminals situated around the city fromn which refuse trains leave each day to a large landfill site in the Scunthorpe area of Lincolnshire.

Now I'm not saying it's going to be cheap to build a waste disposal terminal near on Merseyside, as the old saying goes what you lose on the swings you gain on the roundabouts, needless to say it would certainly go a long way in helping Merseyside solve its waste disposal problems.
