Firm which will build energy-from-waste facility to be selected in private meeting

Shanks Waste Solutions/ Wheelabrator Technologies Inc and Waste Recycling Group are the two companies in contention to build the incinerator.
A special meeting of the authority's Conservative executive will take place to make the decision.
But council officials say this will take place in private as commercially sensitive information will need to be discussed.

“A Conservative authority meeting in private to decide which of their financial backers gets a £145 million contract? Thank goodness for local accountability and open governance.”
