More Details On Surrey Eco Park Revealed

More details about the eco park proposed as the centrepiece of Surrey County Council's new waste strategy have now been released.

The new information provides more details about the park and a full size artist's impression of the planned development.

Lynne Hack, Surrey's Cabinet Member for the Environment, said the council was proposing to build the park at the existing waste management facility at Charlton Lane, Shepperton. She said the park was "a key element" of the authority’s new "waste vision" and would be the first of its kind in the country.

The development would incorporate a range of waste treatment facilities, an innovation centre to look at and develop the latest technologies and an education centre.

Surrey's leader, Dr Andrew Povey, announced the council's intention to build the park last month when he revealed the authority no longer had plans to build energy from waste incinerators in the county.

Speaking after the announcement, Dr Povey said: "With our help, and that of our partners, our residents are now doing so well at producing less waste and recycling more that we are in a position to look at alternative methods of dealing with our waste and saving both money and our countryside."
