WAPSEYS Wood in Gerrards Cross is the frontrunner for an incinerator in south Bucks, it was revealed today.
Buckinghamshire County Council has confirmed one facility will be in the north of the county and one in the south.
It has put forward two options. One is to have an incinerator at Calvert in Aylesbury and Wapseys Wood, off the A40, between Beaconsfield and Gerrards Cross.
Both facilities - which the council calls Strategic Waste Complexes' - would take household, industrial and commercial waste.
The second option is to have one incinerator for household waste at either of the two sites.
Alongside this will be there will one or more transfer stations' to receive household waste and, where needed, take it to the incinerator.
These sites are: High Heavens landfill site, Wycombe; London Road, Amersham; College Road North, Aston Clinton; off Osier Way, Buckingham and Richings Park, Iver.
Whichever of these sites is not used for household waste will be used for commercial and industrial waste.
More to come.
