Decision on Manvers waste plant operator
COUNCIL bosses have picked the company they want to run a massive waste plant to deal with Rotherham’s rubbish—but the winning bidder can not yet be named.
Councillors today backed an officers’ recommendation to choose either SITA Lend Lease and 3SE to build and run a new plant at Bolton Road, Manvers.
But the identity of the company winning the tender will not be revealed for at least a week until the end of a “call-in” period in which the decision can be challenged.
