Surrey to develop Eco Park
Author: Cllr Lynne Hack, ConservativeHome |
We are proposing to construct an Eco Park, which would be the first of its kind in the country, in Shepperton (Spelthorne) on the site of an existing waste treatment site. This would incorporate a range of waste treatment facilities, including a gasifier and an anaerobic digester, and would be significantly cheaper than the previous proposal of constructing two large incinerators.
There would be an innovation centre, which will look at and develop the latest technologies, and an education centre on the site so that we can help bring a greener message to Surrey’s children and also look at new ways of recycling and reducing waste. This would also create jobs as and in the current climate we believe that this is particularly welcome news.
