This week's local news is headlining with the story originally broken by BBC South on Friday 19th November, that Hampshire County Council failed to publish a highly critical report on the possible landscape impact of Veolia's massive commercial incinerator in the rural Wey Valley, and that Planning Officers appeared to be encouraging other HCC departments to downgrade their objections.
