The council says the site would 'significantly put the life of employees at risk' if not redesigned
Eastcroft depot holds rubbish before it goes in the incinerator, which is used to heat 5,000 homesA building where waste is stored before incineration must be demolished and rebuilt because of "dangerous" working conditions.
Nottingham City Council's Eastcroft depot holds rubbish before it goes in the incinerator, where the waste is turned into heat for 5,000 homes.Local Democracy Reporting Service saysThe spend was revealed in delegated decision documents which say: "This would evidently lead to the closure of this facility due to the high-risk nature of operating in such dangerous conditions."
The facility - which the council says has saved £188,000 on disposal costs for thousands of tonnes of waste in the past year - is not set to be closed on a permanent basis. When it is required to shut for repair, waste will be reallocated to a different site for processing, with no homes or businesses that use the district heating system expected to be affected.Kevin Clarke, leader of the Nottingham Independents, said the additional expenditure during a cost-of-living crisis and with the council's finances already stretched was unfortunate.
