There will be a meeting held by North Yorkshire County Council on 12th November 2008 at 14:00pm at Northallerton, County Hall which you can attend and voice your concerns about the whole waste planning process and its failure to take account of your opinions and concerns. Councillors will then decide whether or not there is a case to answer for the failure of the Waste Core Strategy and whether to change Council policies.
We urgently need your attendance at this meeting so the matter can be closed off and left in the hands of the Council to address the issues formally. The Executive have told this Committee they want the shortest possible delay and a minimum use of resources in the investigation. We need the Council to allow this Committee the time to do a proper report and corrective actions to avoid the Dalton site scenario arising again.
If you wish to speak at the meeting you will be allowed to do so. Please e-mail your request three days before hand to Jackie.Harvey@northyorks.gov.uk. We will be attending and providing formal evidence regarding this issue. However the Dalton site is not the specific issue at hand – the Waste Core Strategy process was flawed and generated a flawed list of sites and concepts which were evidence in themselves of the poor quality of the work undertaken regarding localisation of those plans.
David Andrews,
Chairman DISC
