Waste row rumbles on…
The Walthamstow Independent (14/03/08) featured the continuing row over plans for new waste facilities in the area.
For some reason Walthamstow is to be saddled with half the facilities needed to serve all of North London, with Blackhorse Lane as one site. Plans include a hazardous waste-processing facility, an incinerator, and recycling centres. The locations of each type have not yet been decided.
The article (here) highlights residents concerns that they have not been made aware enough or properly consulted on the plans.
If you have objections or opinions, visit the North London Waste Plan site or email feedback@nlwp.net
On a side note, due to slightly unclear wording the article gave some people the impression that the Blackhorse Action Group is somehow associated with the Socialist party.
The “Resident” that posted a comment about the “socialist cell organising and campaigning behind the cover of the Blackhorse Action Group” can rest easy. We are a residents group with a fully open AGM and are not affiliated with the Socialist (or any other) Party.
Any residents who wish to join visit here, or come along to our social on the 17th May at The Douglas Eyre Pavilion.
