Government scraps plans to increase incinerator ash tax
The government has decided to scrap plans to increase the rate of landfill tax paid on bottom ash from incinerators, as it fears that it would alter the economic model for developing technology. It had been proposing to tax this at the higher rate for active waste including wood, which currently stands at £48 per tonne. This is significant because, for every five tonnes of waste combusted, around one tonne of ash is produced, meaning that substantial volumes of waste would have been subject to a higher levy.

Reclaimed wood is this years trend, says Linda Barker
In an interview featured in the May edition of Period House magazine, interior designer Linda Barker was asked what the new trends were for the coming season. She replied, "I've seen lots and lots of reclaimed wood, it looks set to be a big trend. Think reclaimed timber finishes on tables and cupboards and wood that has printing on it still and is half sanded. It's a very strong and beautiful look and goes wonderfully with the other key trend, the eclectic look and in the last year it has evolved to look not so polished."
