09-09-2009 15:49

E-on are paying Scott Wilson to help push their plans for kingsnorth and to try and make E-on look a better company.

If they can't carry out all the assesments they can't build Kingsnorth.
There is no way that scott wilson have the intrest of the enviroment or locals at heart, all they care about is the money they are being paid by kingsnorth.
Contact them and ask them to stop helping towards the planning and construction of Kingsnorth!

09-09-2009 14:20

There are 5 companies after the contract for Kingsnorth. However if they get enough hassle for chasing the contract then they won’t bother anymore, it also a great way to show them what they are in for if they do get the contract. We must be relentless in our campaign as we are fighting for all life current and future.

Whose Blades? Our Blades! Whose Factory? Our Factory!

05-09-2009 14:22

"We have definitely stopped them from removing the blades from Newport. 25-30 supporters from the mainland plus the hard core of the workers set up a camp to blockade the Marine Gate today. Our thinking is that, seeing the size of the mobilisation today, Vestas decided not to come to Newport. Both this camp, and the 'Magic Roundabout' camp in front of the factory will be maintained - and will have kitchens, running water, and power. Join the blockades!"

"This opencast mine is a massive scheme that will blight our lives for at least the next 17 years, and it's only 37 Metres from the nearest housing estate and edge of a large community! We are suffering desperately with the noise from the operation (60dbA+ at times and regularly at 55dbA) and - to varying degrees governed by the topography, weather conditions, and wind direction - from the dirt and dust output also."
