This ugly blot on our local landscape grows ever higher. Despite a massive objection from residents, planning approval was granted to extend the life of the operation by East Riding of Yorkshire Council. The floodgates immediately opened and a torrent of waste now pours into the site to the gross inconvenience of residents. A supposed height limitation is completely ignored and all we see is the problem being referred to a consultation committee. A classic method of kicking the problem into the long grass used by politicians at every level!
At other landfill tips there is a system of financial contribution to provide some sort of social compensation to the area - for the massive amount of waste going into this tip are the residents of Gilberdyke and Newport going to see any benefit at all? - Answers on a postcard please.
I followed a "waste Lorry" fromm Hull, just before the turn off for Gilberdyke a roll of plastic blew off the top of the load and into the path of other vehicles. I was able to avoid it. The load was not sheeted down. I have since noted that a number of vehicles are not sheeted down. Where are the police? There is a weigh bridge on route.
ReplyDeleteI have also noted that some vehicles are using Sandholme road to access the tip.
So - has anything been done to stop the rape of our community?
