He has lodged a proposition calling for a public inquiry into the site of the new incinerator – an £80m capital project – saying that the Island Plan called for the plant to be built in Bellozanne, and that the new site would affect the lives of Havre des Pas residents. Mr Crowcroft, a member of the Environment Scrutiny Panel, argues that the plant will affect the appeal of that area of town, and believes Islanders have not been given a true assessment of what it will look like. But Transport Minister Guy de Faye says the move is just a delaying tactic. He says that there is already a public planning process going on, and that the whole project will come back to the States for final approval before work starts on the new plant.
