January 29th 2010: Jeremy meets local campaigners to discuss Runfold proposals
Jeremy is working with local residents and Councillors who are opposing plans for a new composting facility at SITA’s waste management site in Runfold. There are concerns about the visual impact of the proposals on the surrounding area, how the quarry will affect the air quality through emissions, the increased noise from the quarry as the work is undertaken and HGV vehicles drive through the narrow roads, the impact on health through bio fuels and flies for example and also the increased HGV traffic that the quarry will result in.
Jeremy met with the local campaigners to discuss the site. At the meeting Jeremy heard first hand accounts of how the HGV vehicles and emissions from the site were of serious concern. Jeremy has vowed to write to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government to outline the objections. He has also promised to submit Parliamentary Questions on the matter and do anything that he can to support the campaigners in their fight against the plans.
Is there an update on this application? As a resident of Runfold, I am absolutely appalled that we could be looking at Europe's largest composting facility being built in an of outstanding natural beauty and directly adjacent to a school.
