The Haringey Lib Dems have organised a debate on ‘Waste in the 21st Century’, to take place at the full countil meeting. The Pinkham Way Alliance have a five-minute slot to speak half way through the meeting itself, followed by five minutes of questions.

We hope also to take part later on in the main debate itself, which will follow the routine council business.

The discussion will not be adversarial, but we’re calling into question some key assumptions. Unquestioned, these assumptions could leave all north London residents being financially penalised for not producing enough black-bag waste. And yet we're encouraged to avoid waste, and to reuse and recycle!?. Our short speech will be enough to make some very telling criticism. There’s room for 60 or 70 in the gallery, and if it's full, it will concentrate the minds of the council.
