flag UK's new landfill tax on dredged sediment stabilisers threatens port projects, jobs, and green goals.

flag A proposed UK landfill tax change, quietly announced in the Budget, would end an exemption for stabilisers used in disposing of contaminated dredged sediment, raising concerns among port and waterway leaders. flag The British Ports Association warns the move could add tens of millions to infrastructure costs, threatening project viability, delaying investments, and risking tens of thousands of jobs—especially in the North-east. flag Industry groups say the change undermines government growth and net zero goals, with minimal revenue gain for the Treasury. flag They are urging the Treasury to reverse the decision.
