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.

It's very, very big business, sita, biffa, have grown and are getting bigger.
If the Huncoat project does go ahead, could HBC not get the business rates, or would it be exempt from rates?
