Letter: Essex waste
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Polly Toynbee made an error in her manifesto for recycling ("The battle of incinerators vs recyclers", 16 September). There is no proposal to build four incinerators in Essex. We know that time is running out for Essex waste. So all 15 Essex councils are working together on a future strategy including waste minim- isation and recycling, and all the other waste options that are necessary because our landfill is running out.
Essex residents have been involved in commenting on the strategy, through area liaison groups for north, west and south Essex, and through a comprehensive booklet which is still available to your readers.
