Uh, yes it is true actually. It cost us £2.25 million last year. And not only do we have to accomodate our own rubbish at the Whinney Hill site, but the stuff arrives daily from as far afield as Manchester, Wigan and Liverpool.

Now Lancs CC. want to spend some of the money you pay them, through the County Precept part of your council tax, to build a massive new waste processing facility on the site of Huncoat Power Station. That will take waste from the whole of Lancashire, and you can bet that we won't see a pennysworth of the benefit.
