AGENCY UNFAIR SAY COURT OF APPEAL.

AND IN BREACH OF COMMON LAW FAIRNESS;
AGENCY HID INFORMATION, AND PREJUDICED CONSULTATION.
RUGBY PEOPLE DISMAYED!

THINGS CAN ONLY GET WORSE!

The people of Rugby, have been PREJUDICED by this Agency, and the IPPC Consultation, (falsely called Tyre Burning Application), designed to turn the Cement plant into a CO-INCINERATOR.

The consultation has been proven to be a SHAM! What else will they hide? What lengths will they go to to disadvantage Rugby people and cover up what they have done? The Judges upheld the findings of unfairness, and breach of Common Law, against the Agency, and this is what they have done to Rugby people.

While we are disappointed in losing the Appeal we are pleased to see that the Judges also refused the Appeal of the Environment Agency, and upheld the Decision against them, and confirmed it :
"The Agency was found to be in breach of its common law duty of fairness to provide fully informed consultation, and the Judge was concerned about the apparent lack of frankness on the part of the Agency in not alerting the public much earlier to the implications of the AQMAU reports for possible contribution to environmental damage from low level emissions of dust."

The AQMAU Air Quality reports were hidden by the Agency, from RCCF, RBC, MP Andy King, and from the Council's air quality consultant Faber Maunsell, who all repeatedly asked for it, in order to help Rugby Residents with the decision making , and with the locating of the air quality monitors. The misleading, and hiding of crucial environmental information lead to an increased health risk for local Rugby residents, and meant the whole Consultation process was completely flawed, and in effect the whole Consultation was a complete waste of time and money, because of the Agency 's hiding of the essential information. What this FARCE cost Rugby people should be worked out by the AUDIT COMMISSION!

In this SHAM CONSULTATION the Agency have been aided and abetted by Rugby Borough Council who, although not part of this court case, deliberately misleadingly called the Consultation a "Tyre Burning Consultation", instead of an IPPC Consultation. This was after having previously already connived with the Agency to hide the prior IPC Consultation in July 1999, and to keep it off the Public register and to make no response to it, which led to the plant gaining an original UNLAWFUL IPC operating Permit. This plant then operated unlawfully from 1999 as a "cement plant", and then gained an unlawful IPPC Permit, after an expensive, time-consuming FARCE of public consultation, to become the Rugby C0-INCINERATOR , in which, from that point on ALL manner and quantities of WASTES could/can be burnt - regardless of any impact. The Agency NEVER refuses any permissions as it cannot, for fear of being sued by the cement industry.
ONE SIZE FITS ALL - as far as cement plants are concerned, and anything goes.

SHAM CONSULTATIONS NOW ABOUT TO START:
into tyre burning ; and tyres and petcoke ;
and the burning of London's household /commercial refuse .
After that - the sky is the limit - so here come Cemex and the Agency,
filling up Rugby air with toxic emissions.
