Neath Port Talbot CBC has launched a £54m lawsuit over the ‘failure' of its waste incinerator. The Welsh authority has issued the High Court writ against two dormant companies in the Currie and Brown Group, which offered technical advice on the Crymlyn Burrows Materials Recovery and Energy Centre. Will Watson, corporate director for the environment at the authority, said: ‘The council is seeking damages following the failure of the materials recycling and energy centre to achieve contracted performance levels, particularly diverting waste from landfill, recycling and the production of compost.' Currie and Brown said the matter was ‘in the hands of our insurers'.
