A controversial waste plan that could see an incinerator built on Beddington Lane, was approved by Croydon Council on Monday in spite of concern from local people and Green councillors.
Croydon Council said that a contract has not yet been signed and that planning permission has not yet been applied for.

The SLWP provides waste management for Croydon, Sutton, Kingston and Merton councils.
