Bicester’s MP has waded into a campaign urging Oxfordshire County Council to reject a waste firm’s second application for an incinerator. Tony Baldry sent a letter to council chief executive Joanna Simons urging the authority to refuse Viridor’s application.

As you will recall, County Councillors rejected the planning application by Viridor to establish a waste incinerator at Ardley, and that matter now is the subject of an appeal to the Secretary of State, with the appeal I understand due to be heard by an inspector in July.
