County Council Elections 4th May 2017 – What do the candidates think?
We have contacted a number of candidates to ask them where they stand on the issue of the incinerator. Candidates we were able to contact were asked two questions:
“Would you agree to hold work at Javelin Park pending the CMA decision due to potential liabilities?”
“Do you support a re-evaluation of the value for money case of the incinerator contract in view of evidence that GCC could save £4.7m a year by cancelling the contract?”
Use our databases below to find out how they responded.
Why are there gaps?
We weren’t able to contact all candidates. To start with, their phone numbers aren’t published on the GCC website and had to be researched. Also, different parties were more or less organised and therefore able (or willing) to disclose phone numbers. In addition, some candidates were out when we rang and so we were not able to talk to them. There was no bias in our work. If it looks like some parties are over or under represented, this is due to the degree of their ability or willingness to help.
Help fill the gaps
