Viridor has issued Interserve with a notice of termination on its Energy from Waste (EfW) project in Glasgow.

Work on the £154 million Glasgow Recycling and Renewable Energy Centre scheme began in 2013.

However, the project had been hit by a series of delays, resulting in Interserve making £70m of provisions on the contract.

Plans for the centre include processing up to 200,000 tonnes of waste annually and is designed to prevent around 90% of waste going to landfill.

In a statement, Interserve said: "We are assessing the implications of this development with our legal advisers and will issue a further update in due course."
