The people who have had a Liberal/Lib Dem councillor since 1974 and are quite loyal Lib Dems are hopping mad.

Opposing a particular location for a composting facility doesn't suddenly make you against composting, just as being in favour of more wind power doesn't mean you therefore have to be in favour of any and every wind turbine proposal regardless of its merit or being in favour of public transport meaning you have to be against any and every proposal to improve car transport or being in favour of the environment generally meaning you have to be against any and every proposal to cut down a tree.
