Excellent letter in today's EN (I wasn't sure which topic to post it under, but as this issue will soon be voted on I'll place it here. If you want it linked to another topic instead, Peter, just give me the nod!)

I logged on here with some trepidation, but have spent the last minute jumping and shouting for joy in my hotel room after reading the verdict. I could give each of the 9 Councillors, who rejected the application, a great big hug. :wav:

And Seanie, I'm sure you're right and Viridor will appeal, but let's just savour this moment.
I know there will be celebrations back home tonight and even though I can't join you in person I'll be with you in spirit(s). Who cares what the mini bar prices are?! :lol:

As feared, Viridor have appealed against the Council's decision. It will be going to a Public Local Inquiry.
