Sub-committee ‘were conned’ on landfill site
Monday 19th July 2004, 12:00AM BST.
THE chairman of the planning sub-committee which approved the Trinity landfill scheme spoke today of the belief that they had been ‘conned’.
Deputy Jackie Hilton told the inquiry into the scheme that she was not aware that any material for dumping would have to be brought on to the site.
Had she known, it would never have been approved.
She said that fellow committee member Deputy Mike Taylor had said ‘We’ve been conned’ when they discovered that the fields had been sold by farmer Charles Gallichan as a landfill site.
Asked who she believed Deputy Taylor thought had done the ‘conning’, she said: ‘The applicant.’
