SMOKING BAN?.. NOT US!

According to the Rugby Advertiser :
PEOPLE IN NEW BILTON, LIVING NEXT TO THE CEMENT WORKS, in the first of NEW LABOUR'S MUCH HERALDED, and PRESCOTT'S PERSONALLY PROMOTED AFFORDABLE SOCIAL HOUSING ARE :

"FED UP OF BEING SWAMPED - as residents kick up a stink!"

"Investigating the smelly problem are non other than (the usually invisible) RBC LABOUR councillors: Ish Mistry and Don Williams. Long-suffering New Bilton residents are kicking up a stink over claims that inadequate piping in the area of the cement works has caused them to be regularly swamped with sewage" - amongst many other unsavoury and unhealthy pollutants.

Home owners in AVENUE ROAD say "toilet paper and other waste, and a slurry-like stench", and frequent dust clouds, and odours, "have blighted the area after REDROW homes started building their nearby housing development".

Some residents also blame ongoing pollution from Rugby Cement and its increasing emissions and waste-burning trials. "You don't always notice it - but at times there is an awful smell. It is frustrating - we feel like we are banging our heads against a brick wall."

RBC officers and the CABINET were refusing to answer questions as we went to press. They said that they do not have to talk to anyone, or to answer any emails;
do not have to answer any questions; and steadfastly refuse point-blank to answer anything!

Some Councillors noted that the people who "did this" to Rugby residents are either dead; or living on a fat pension paid for by the council tax payers.

I wish the Government would bring in a BAN on DUST AND POLLUTION AND ODOUR from CEMENT FACTORIES. They should be built out of harms way, not in the town. No wonder tourists do not want to stay too long, and no wonder people prefer to shop in other areas, such as Leamington and Northampton.

DISSENTERS & ALL QUESTIONS BANNED
Rumour has it that to avoid answering oft repeated questions on:
# the definition of plant stability/instability;
# how the public can know when the kiln is "started" or "not-started";
# when any ELVs (Emission Limit Values) actually apply at the plant;
# why Rugby residents should be polluted and coated in dust;
# why we have to have 1,000 cement plant lorries in Rugby every day;
# why UK and EU Laws do not apply to Rugby Cement;
# why RBC aided and abetted the unlawful construction, and the unlawful operation of this alien industrial behemoth in our midst; etc..

the powers-that-be (CEMEX: RBC: EA:) have got together and, arbitrarily, without any notification to anyone, decided to disband the Rugby Cement Community Forum.

A SPOKESMAN SAID:
"Democracy, public participation, community engagement, civil discussion, open communication, being held accountable - Who wants it?

WE DON'T LIKE IT: WE DON'T NEED IT:
We will suffer no more intelligent discussion; no more searching questions; no more requests for information; no more pleas for open, honest, transparent communication!
You will be silenced for once and for all!"

Public execution to be held on 18th July at 5.50pm
RUGBY TOWN HALL.
Don't miss it!
