Jersey's States have adopted 31 to 11 a proposition by the Deputy of St John to identify a site on publicly owned land which would lend itself to the recycling of waste materials.
The States have agreed to undertake a review of suitable sites and to report back to the States within six months. The idea is that such a site would then be run by a licensed haulage contractor.
The Council of Ministers responded to the proposition suggesting it was not the responsibility of government to identify land requirements for private waste operators who would eventually be running the site.
There was also debate about whether the search should be limited to just one site and indeed whether the search shouldn't include private land as the aim surely was to identify the best suited site.
Also on the agenda Deputy Paul Le Claire asked members to set up a working group to consider the merits of introducing a work and residence permit system for the island. A controversial measure he thinks would protect jobs and housing for locals. That proposition was defeated but as a compromise Deputy Le Claire agreed to join the Migration Scrutiny Sub Panel - which is already reviewing the island's migration legislation.
The next States meeting is on October 12th.
