FUNDING FOR CHESHIRE'S DISPOSAL OF REFRIGERATORS
Ann Winterton
2002-12-10
That this House notes that the Government proposes to fund the additional costs to Cheshire County Council, as a result of implementing Article 16(2) of EC Regulation 2037/00 on Ozone Depleting Substances, in the period from 1st April 2002 to 31st March 2003, by means of a special grant allocation of ú442,130; further notes that the estimated actual cost by Cheshire County Council for the storage and disposal of redundant refrigerators during this time period is ú620,000, and that in addition to the estimated cost to Vale Royal Borough Council of ú20,000, unknown costs for the collection of redundant refrigerators are also being incurred by Chester City Council, Congleton Borough Council, Crewe and Nantwich Borough Council, Ellesmere Port and Neston Borough Council and Macclesfield Borough Council; recognises thereby that the total extra cost in Cheshire is in excess of ú640,000; and, in view of the statement by the Minister for the Environment, the Right honourable Member for Oldham West and Royton on local authority funding that 'We are ... taking the realistic view that if extra duties are imposed they should be reasonably funded. That is the Government's policy' (Official Report, 14th January, column 125), calls upon the Government to make clear how it intends to fund the shortfall in Cheshire which will not be less than ú197,870.
