Incinerator: Everyone’s a winner with this plan

Monday 22nd February 2010, 2:58PM GMT.

From Denise Shrives.
I HAVE a cunning plan which Senator Ozouf might like to adopt.

Facts: l Jersey’s new incinerator is costing far more than first estimated but has 50 per cent too much capacity. l Guernsey want to save on the estimated cost of £98 million for their new plant and are thinking of shipping their waste to Jersey.

The plan: Jersey does a deal with Guernsey for, say, five or ten years (when hopefully Jersey will be recycling nearly all its waste) at a flat charge of
£50 million.

Guernsey save £48 million, and Jersey’s black hole is filled. Too easy?

Too easy?? I thought it was £50m a year Jersey needs, not a one off payment.

Sorry to say that this is to easy and the States don’t do easy except by losing money.
