• North Cornwall has refused to give Cornish hauliers an assurance that they can continue to use the county's waste transfer stations after privatisation.
The hauliers — members of the RHA-backed WASTE (Working and Saving the Environment) and backed by St Ives MP David Harris — wanted. the council to guarantee small hauliers access to tipping sites if the council's LAWDC (local authority waste disposal company) wins the contract. The council told WASTE that assurances were not possible unless it won the business.
WASTE has said that fly-tipping in Cornwall would reach "epidemic proportions" if small hauliers were priced out of the tipping sites. "The council has a moral responsibility to deal with fly-tipping in the wake of privatisation," says WASTE spokesman Bill McKay.
