BBC recently that Howells is contacted with the offer to buy the entire landfill.

Since 2013, Howells claims that the Newport City Council has not taken into account its request to look for his assets. The city council has announced plans that the landfill will be converted to a solar park. Since then they have recorded the building permit to set up a solar power company on the site.

During the hearing, Howells found that the Newport Council claimed that the granting of a search command would have a disadvantageous effects on the people in Newport. Plans to close the landfill were also in progress, and that would be soon.

After failed attempts to call up the Council the hard drive worth millions for him, Howells offered to buy the entire landfill.
