The Radley Lakes - An environmental Cause Celebre

17-08-2006 16:02

RWE NPower, the German-owed Power Company that runs the ageing Didcot "A" coal-fired power station is adamantly detrmined to destroy a beautiful lake in the Oxfordshire Green Belt by turning it into a Waste Dump for pulverised fuel ash (PFA) despite the existence of better alternatives. The Company has refused to look at recycling options, preferring instead to pay the paltry £2.00 per tonne landfill tax. The Station Manager has so often said "We are in the business of generating electricity, not selling Ash". So, because coal is cheap, Didcot burns more and more instead of gas, and generates more waste, more profits for its shareholders, and leaves a noxious legacy for future generations by its failure to address recycling alternatives, which other Power Stations have done.

Countryside Properties- Mayfield...and a field in May 2004...

17-08-2006 11:53

Spodden Valley woodland destroyed in May 2004...
Countryside Properties have gone into advertising overdrive with its new housing development at the former Mayfield rugby club in Castleton.

After being criticised for illegal flyposting earlier this year:  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/manchester/2006/03/336159.html

Countryside Properties have now paid Rochdale Council for road signs and half page colour advertisements in the Council's newspaper "Local matters" delivered to every home in the Borough.

There has also been a huge advertising spend by Countryside Properties with the Guardian Media Group in their Homesearch sections of the Rochdale Observer, Manchester Evening News and TV station Channel M.

It is a pity that Countryside Properties' budget doesn't cover the destruction of Woodlands in the Spodden Valley.

Mayfield and a field in May... here is the connection...
