There are plans to build a deadly pathogen lab alongside St Pancras International on a Camden Council house estate [Somers Town]. The consortium unveiled the design plans this week as revealed by the Evening Standard where they admitted that the lab could in fact be level 4 facility if "driven by science" meaning that it could contain deadly diseases such as rabies. They have claimed that full "public community consultation will take place" and have given 24 hours of this.
The "full community consultation" will take place tomorrow {Thursday December 10th] at Coopers Lane Community Centre in Purcheese Street, Somers Town, from 3pm - 7pm, Friday from 4pm to 7pm and Saturday from 10 am to 2pm.
Twenty four hours notice with no leaflets handed out to people living in London from the consortium, is not a "full community consultation".
Helia Evans chair of the Somers Town tenants association has said : "Most people want housing as that's what we need".
Malcom Grant of the UCL [part of the consortium consisting of the Wellcome Trust, MRC, CRUK] has admitted that the lab poses an "inherent risk" of terrorism has said that he hopes the Home Office will give adequate security support. The lab could well be a level 4 facility which does in fact mean that top level security at the site, feet away from people's homes could involve armed police, MI5 survelliance of everbody living here due to risk of virus leak, bomb attack etc and the proximiyt to the Channel Tunnel will heighten this.
If you want to know more about the lab and how this will impact on the environmne tand the community [everywhere, not just Camden....] you can read up on it in "50 Ways to F**k The Planet" by Mark Townsend and David Glick.
The consortium have admitted that they will ignore the council's planning brief for the area.

The consortium have said that they "will test on rats" and that the research will be "mostly into cancer" which we believe is not entirely true. The can test on many animals, goats, sheep, horses and ponies, guinea pigs, rabbits etc and the work will likely include research using deadly pthogens say campaigners who live locally.
