WASTE BURNING!
Rugby residents sit by their Yuletide fires in happy anticipation of what the Bright New Year will usher in; content in the knowledge that the CO-INCINERATION DECISION is on the back-boiler till 31st January 2007; saved, in the short-term, by the Environment Agency's sudden brain-storm, and late-night reprieve of Saturday 2nd December, when an amazing about-face heralded bright and gay the prospects for the New Year.
TYRE PROTESTERS HIT AT DEADLINE "SHAM"
Saturday's headlines of Warwickshire Telegraph: cited RESIDENTS as having less than two weeks to assess the Final 352 page Tyre Report.
It commented on the "lack of data" being unconvincing, and questioned WHY the Courts, and public, had not been informed that the POLLUTION EPISODE of 14th OCTOBER 2005 was during the TYRE TRIALS that began on 11th October 2005 - exclusively in ET 28 November.
RBC said "There is no formal consultation by the Agency but we hope to help the community make up their own minds..." presumably about whether they are prepared to PUT UP WITH IT - OR NOT?
TAX PAYERS MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN ON SECRET SURVEY
In the meantime these RBC representatives have been on an intrepid "information gathering exercise" to a DIFFERENT KIND OF SMALL cement plant in Kollenbach Germany:
CHRIS HOLMAN;
CAROLYN ROBBINS;
SEAN LAWSON :
These intrepid explorers travelled at Rugby RATEPAYERS expense on this PROPAGANDA exercise on 7/8 November 2006 (where they were accompanied by Cemex paid-for managers Brian Handcock and Ian Southcott) MERELY to visit a modest Cemex waste burning cement plant , and to ask local people how they liked it - or not!
BURNING QUESTION:
WHY DID THEY NOT MERELY GO A COUPLE OF HOURS UP THE M6 AND EXPERIENCE THE JOYS OF THE CLITHEROE WASTE BURNING PLANT IN ACTION, AS SEEN ABOVE?
PLENTY OF WASTE BURNT THERE!
EVERY DAY! LOOK AT IT!
Why was Council tax payers' money WASTED on an unnecessary long distance ENVIRONMENT-DAMAGING air trip for 3, when ALL the 48 RBC councillors and ALL the office staff could have jollied together and ENJOYED some "BONDING TIME" and "TEAM WORKING" on the day out in CLITHEROE; AND visited a LOVELY waste burning co-incinerator plant, all for a FRACTION of what WE had to pay for them to jolly to Germany. What was the attraction - duty-free cement and model cement kilns? We could have got a special Clitheroe deal on the cement for a "bulk buy"! Meat and Bone meal included for no extra charge.
I urge you to ask RBC for a copy of the GERMANY REPORT, for which we have all JOINTLY PAID, and of which we were all promised a FULL COPY. Just see what happens if you deign to ask! Why the delay in issuing it?
Is it being sanitised and de-contaminated?
Do ALL the 48 Councillors support this terrible WASTE of OUR money?
Do ALL the people of Rugby support this terrible WASTE of OUR money?
What about an ACCOUNT of what Rugby Cement costs Rugby ratepayers?
In terms of TOTAL BURDEN:
# environmental detriment;
# property and structural damage;
# devaluation of whole town;
# reports, consultants, experts;
# air quality;
# and health effects;
# tourist revenue losses;
# car and window clean up for sticky dust;
# hours of hot air at Council meetings;
# even trains won't stop here now -
# they might get dusty?
SHOW US THE ACCOUNTS! WELL?
