Labour: fighting for you across Croydon
Residents have managed to win half the battle against the incinerator plans. There will be no 'PFI Credits' for Croydon Council. These are government grants that help subsidise PFI deals. Without them, the Council can still press ahead, but has to do it without the help of the government.
Similiar schemes are progressing in Portsmouth without these Credits, so the plans that are finally published by the Council will be crucial in determining whether an incinerator gets built.
