<p>I very much welcome the work that this group has and continues to do. The findings
from the Local Government Association coastal special interest group survey will help
to inform our planned evidence-based national assessment on the issues regarding these
historic coastal landfill sites, which are varied and complex. This, together with
a full review of previous and other current activity in this space, will enable us
to consolidate and provide a true and accurate picture of the issue, and assist those
local authorities who have the responsibility for managing these sites to identify
the most effective and cost beneficial way forward.</p><p><br> My officials will continue
to work closely with our LGA colleagues as this work progresses, and we value their
continued insight and support.</p>
