Ernie Clark. Hilperton Division, Wiltshire Council.

Another governemnt promise broken.
The Local Government Association is calling on Westminster to fulfil its promise and return to local authorities money raised through landfill tax so they can invest in better recycling facilities and divert even more rubbish from landfill.

From 1st April landfill tax is increasing from £32 per tonne to £40. If this money was returned to local councils, we could then use it to build the enhanced waste and recycling facilities that Wiltshire needs.
