Residents accuse waste developers of holding back information

ANGRY local residents opposing proposals to build a waste treatment plant outside the town of Portlaw are accusing the developers of deliberately holding back on supplying all of the necessary information to Waterford County Council.

AES Ltd of Kildare have been asked twice by the local authority to provide additional information concerning different aspects of their proposal to develop on the site of a former tannery.

Now it is being asked to be more specific in relation to the noise and traffic impact, and a decision on the planning application is being put on hold until the company complies.
