A leading member of the Cornwall Waste Forum addressed a recent meeting of Mebyon Kernow members in St Austell and Newquay, when he criticised Cornwall Council for failing to meet its responsibility to properly monitor air quality in the Mid Cornwall area.

MK councillor Matthew Luke (Penwithick and Boscoppa) has backed calls for Cornwall Council to review its approach to waste.

"In order to get the most out of the waste both in terms of resource and money the system needs to be flexible and adjustable."

Mebyon Kernow councillors have described themselves as “angry” at the refusal of Cornwall Council’s ten-strong ruling Cabinet to consider an alternative proposal to deal with Cornwall’s domestic waste.
