New legal challenge for power plant plan

A FRESH legal challenge has been launched against plans to build a controversial £50 million waste- burning power plant next to housing and a school.

North Lanarkshire Council has said it will appeal a recent Court of Session judgment that said the pyrolysis plant at Carnbroe, near Coatbridge, can go ahead.

The challenge is the latest twist in a long court battle against the plant, which is being built by award-winning butcher Simon Howie's firm Shore Energy.
