One of London's largest incinerators has come under fire after it emerged that it breached emissions limits nearly 1,000 times over an 18-month period.

The failure to properly monitor emissions at Beddington Energy Recovery Facility, also known as Beddington Incinerator, was blamed on "human error", prompting anger and calls for Sutton Council to carry out enforcement.
