Unfortunately we lost the Battlefield incinerator appeal. We're very disappointed and surprised by this but we haven't given up yet. We're working on getting Shropshire Council to review the contract and getting the PFI contract reviewed at Westminster. For details see the incinerator page. The Community Christmas Carboard Collection scheme set up in Shrewsbury to replace the service withdrawn by Veolia was very successful, with 1,000 people participating, 7 tonnes collected and £400 donated to Hope House. Congratulations to all involved, particularly Katy Anderson and Alison Thomas. S.FoE has two new co-ordinators. Frank Oldaker and Barbara Philips have taken over as joint co-ordiantors of the group from Judith Rice. We think this will make us a stronger group and be less stressful for those involved. Judith will still be involved with the group, many thanks to her for all her hard work over the last two years.
