All the comments recieved during the consutlation were considered and helped to develop the version of the South London Waste Plan that was submitted for examination in February 2011.
Landfill space is running out and buried waste releases climate-changing gases. New ways of dealing with waste are needed. Croydon, Kingston, Merton and Sutton are working together to meet this challenge by developing the South London Waste Plan. Following last autumn’s consultation on issues and options, Croydon, Kingston, Merton and Sutton councils have identified potential sites for future waste management facilities and drafted policies to guide their development.
Your feedback is now needed on these potential sites and policies to help inform the Plan’s development. We have prepared a leaflet that summarises some of the key issues and asks for your views on potential sites and draft policies. If you would like to get involved further, we have produced a more detailed consultation document in which you can feed back to us your views on additional issues. You need to send us your responses by no later than midnight on Friday 16 October 2009. We cannot guarantee that late responses will be considered in the development of the Plan. To Get Involved • Complete a questionnaire online • Register now for a workshop near you to find out more, ask questions and discuss the key issues (a light buffet will be provided): - Croydon 7 September, 7pm at Croydon Clocktower - Merton 9 September, 7pm at Civic Centre, Morden - Kingston 16 September, 7pm at Guildhall, Kingston - Sutton 28 September, 7pm at Civic Offices, Sutton • Invite us to attend a meeting of your group or organisation before 2 October. Please book early to avoid disappointment.

Your views will help develop the final version of the South London Waste Plan which we anticipate will be published for your comments in February 2010. This is your chance to make your voice heard and to help shape policy that will affect where you live.
