UKCMRI ignore letters from residents & councillors about Camden germ lab

Residents from Camden and Kings Cross have had letters & emails utterly ignored by the UKCMRI. Worryingly they have said that "those who signed up" at last weeks poorly advertised meeing would get the chance to oppose planning permision on reciept of a letter from UKCMRI. The UKCMRI have so far ignored all communication from residents. None of our questions have been answered.

The UKCMRI have said that they sent out 600 or so letters to the thousands of residents in Camden to advertise the "consultation" held last week by the UKCMRI.

We feel that the UKCMRI have behaved in a way that is completely unprofessional.
They have not adeaquately advertised consultations. They have not answered letters or emails. This week we witnessed the surreal sight of Sir Paul Nurse [Rockefeller Institute], Sir Leszek Borysiewicz [CEO of the MRC], John Cooper [CEOof the UKCMRI] and two people from Camden council address residents and councillors in front of a large presentation containing a picture of Peter Pan.

Residents will be holding an emergency meeting with councillors this week to discuss how to take the campaign forward.

Usual misrepresentation

This is the problem with the animal front and why you are a danger to any campaign against the lab. Everyone knows that the letters were (or weren't as the case may be) the responsibility of Camden Council not the consortium as it was Camden Councils's meeting - there is even a letter explaining this in the CNJ. It was up to Camden to alert people whether through letters, or their website or whatevetr.You are either ignorant or you are deliberately misrepresenting (ie, lying) the people we are againast. You should correct this, otherwise your are stregthening the ukcmri.
