Peterborough Renewable Energy Ltd (PREL), who were recently granted permission by the government to go ahead with plans to build the first Green Energy park in the UK, have welcomed Shadow Chancellor George Osborne’s tax commitments to make landfill a thing of the past.
PREL have pledged their support to the commitment, that if the Conservative Party form a government next year, there will be no decrease in landfill tax in real terms for the next ten years.
PREL, whose zero-landfill Energy Park for Peterborough gained planning approval from the Government last month, welcomed the Shadow Chancellor’s announcement as an incentive to local authorities to increase recycling rates and work with green industrial partners to deliver sustainable solutions
Managing Director of PREL, Chris Williams said:
“We very much welcome any initiative that puts a low carbon future at the heart of our economic recovery. The commitment by George Osborne MP to maintain the level of taxation on landfill on or above the 2013 rate will ensure – if implemented – that local authorities are incentivised to look for alternative methods to deal with municipal waste. As the PREL Energy Park for Peterborough demonstrates, with the right combination of technologies, we now have the capability in the UK to put an end to landfill once and for all.”
