Information in this publication may be used without charge and without licence subject to the original context for information being maintained and the KRP accredited as the source. Publication Date: March 2018. © Copyright 2018 of Sevenoaks District Council on behalf of the Kent Resource Partnership Important: all data in this publication is derived from three main sources as follows: - • Kent County Council is the primary source for tonnage information and residual waste destinations. • Waste Data Flow in terms of summary information on data input by the 13 councils. • Waste management companies in relation to countries of end destinations. The Kent Resource Partnership staff are entirely reliant on these sources and do not, and can not, produce original data themselves. NOTE 1 For this financial year, some dry-recycling tonnage from the 13 Kent councils was processed through Materials Recycling Facilities (MRFs) or with companies who may send their feedstocks abroad (e.g. wood for biomass). The KRP thanks Countrystyle Recycling Ltd and Viridor Waste Kent Ltd for the provision of information to us about the countries of end destination of their outputs. The KRP is very grateful for the co-operation shown. NOTE 2 On the basis of industry experience for tonnages via charities, we have allocated tonnages ‘abroad’. This includes items (e.g. clothes) that are collected by UK based charities and re-used by people in other countries. NOTE 3 Waste Data Flow publishes information for ‘Kent County Council’ even though this is an amalgamation of all 13 Kent councils’ information. Thus, the information for Kent Resource Partnership on pages 7 to 13 also incorporates all tonnages for Kent County Council. Note 4 Every effort has been made to ensure the figures in this publication are correct. However, as the figures are based heavily on information from the national Waste Data Flow system, factors that impact on calculations are very likely to be replicated in this publication. Additionally, if the publication includes an inadvertent error, we would be pleased to be advised. In the first instance, please contact the KRP Manager, Paldeep Bhatti by email at: [email protected]. 4 Foreword Cllr Rory Love, Cllr Jill Anderson, Chairman of KRP & Cabinet Member for Customers, Vice-Chair of the KRP & Cabinet Member for Housing and Communications & Digital Delivery, Shepway District Council Environment Services, Tonbridge & Malling Borough Council [Once this publication receives final approval from the KRP Members Board on 21 February 2018, KRP staff to work with Cllr Love and Cllr Anderson to draft an appropriate ‘foreword’ which reflects the achievements of the Partnership in 2016/17]. 5 Kent Resource Partnership The bar charts below represent the KRP’s tonnage in terms of its geographical destinations (Kent, other UK or abroad) and resource destination (recycling & composting, electricity from waste & landfill) respectively.

    Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System As submitted to the European Commission in April 2012 following the first stage of their scrutiny process This document has been issued by the Department of Energy and Climate Change, together with the Devolved Administrations for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. April 2012 UK’s National Implementation Measures submission – April 2012 Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System As submitted to the European Commission in April 2012 following the first stage of their scrutiny process On 12 December 2011, the UK submitted to the European Commission the UK’s National Implementation Measures (NIMs), containing the preliminary levels of free allocation of allowances to installations under Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System (2013-2020), in accordance with Article 11 of the revised ETS Directive (2009/29/EC). In response to queries raised by the European Commission during the first stage of their assessment of the UK’s NIMs, the UK has made a small number of modifications to its NIMs. This includes the introduction of preliminary levels of free allocation for four additional installations and amendments to the preliminary free allocation levels of seven installations that were included in the original NIMs submission. The operators of the installations affected have been informed directly of these changes. The allocations are not final at this stage as the Commission’s NIMs scrutiny process is ongoing. Only when all installation-level allocations for an EU Member State have been approved will that Member State’s NIMs and the preliminary levels of allocation be accepted.

  • Sittingbourne's Steam Railway Press Release

    Sittingbourne's Steam Railway Press Release

    Sittingbourne's Steam Railway Registered charity number: 105 7079 Press Release Release date: 14th March 2019 2019 Season – 50th Anniversary of Handover Fifty years ago, this October, paper manufacturer Bowaters, handed over a section of its narrow gauge railway system to the Locomotive Club of Great Britain, and so, over the following few years, the Sittingbourne & Kemsley Light Railway was set up to continue the legacy. Next year, will be the 50th anniversary of public trains and 2022 will be the 50th anniversary of the Sittingbourne & Kemsley Light Railway as a company. Following a time and motion study, Bowaters Paper Co. decided to transition from rail to road operations throughout Sittingbourne and Kemsley Paper Mills and Ridham Dock. The management did not want to see its railway lost forever so it sought to pass on the mantle for operating the ‘main line’ to preservationists. 1 In October 1969, operation of the line between Sittingbourne and Kemsley Paper Mills was handed over to the Locomotive Club of Great Britain, which later set up the Sittingbourne & Kemsley Light Railway. Operating original locomotives, coaches and wagons over the original line is rare in preservation. The paper mill network consisted of 10 miles of sidings and three miles of main line – the two miles from Sittingbourne Exchange Sidings to Kemsley Paper Mill are all that remains of the original main line. Coincidentally, roadworks within Kemsley Paper Mill will see the occasional lorry movement across the site at Kemsley Down, a stark reminder of the industrial history of the Railway. Due to the late Easter, trains will start running on Mothering Sunday, 31st March, with trains running every Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday until the end of September.

    LOCAL IMPACT REPORT Wheelabrator Kemsley Generating Station (K3) and Wheelabrator Kemsley North (WKN) Waste to Energy Facility DCO (PINS Reference EN010083) Produced by Kent County Council (KCC) March 2020 1. Introduction 1.1. This report has been prepared by Kent County Council (KCC) as a statutory consultee, in accordance with advice and requirements set out in the Planning Act 2008, the Localism Act 2011 and Advice Note One: Local Impact Reports (Version 2, April 2012, The Planning Inspectorate). 1.2. The Advice Note states that a Local Impact Report (LIR) is a ‘report in writing giving details of the likely impact of the proposed development on the authority’s area’. 1.3. The Advice Note states that when the Examining Authority decides to accept an application, it will ask the relevant local authorities to prepare a LIR and this should centre around whether the local authority considers the development would have a positive, negative or neutral effect on the area. 1.4. The Report may include any topics that the local authority considers to be relevant to the impact of the development on their area and may be used as a means by which their existing body of knowledge and evidence on local issues can be fully and robustly reported to the Examining Authority. 1.5. This LIR has been written to incorporate some of the subject areas suggested in the Advice Note and in light of the application material submitted. 1.6. The LIR covers areas where the County Council has a statutory function or expertise. The County Council defers to Swale Borough Council on other matters, as set out within this LIR.
