Good. As operations management professionals know, running a plant at 100% of capacity is a fool’s paradise. Hence a rubbish free St Helier can only be of benefit to the island as a whole.

The problem that Constable Crowcroft has yet to address is how he is going to get his rubbish to France. Again as operations management professionals know, and common sense dictates, you will need to have a waste ship permanently bathed in St Helier, ready to receive St Helier’s rubbish. Factor in the need for a second ship to actually deliver the rubbish to the French; you will soon see that the logistics of rubbish is a logistical minefield. Failing that a refuse holding area adjacent to the dock.

Oh, and the smell from this berthed rubbish vessel? The parishioners of St Helier, would soon clamouring for the return of the sweet smells of the composting plant.

Nice try Simon and another 10:10 for public relations spin.

well he may be an idea full of good intentions and lacking in thought.
But surely a simlilar plant in design, but smaller in size, to that of the one in britany is far more suitable to the needs of the island. it would cost less and would have less energy wasted as it would be close to its capacity then this new one will be.
aesthitically it may be smaller as well.
But why are the states spending the money on a new waste facility when suxh a facility with the correct infrastructure is already in place at belozane.
would it not have been cheaper to simply replace the incinertator at bellozane and look into waste export for a brief period of time while the new incinerator is put in place.
also keeping it at bellozane would allow for the other fool hardy states plan of turning the la collet marinia into an residential area!

and at least crowcroft has some half decent ideas. its better then the vacum of ideas created by other states members
