Hi everyone
Please see our latest statement below:
“Also, as at present Arthur Morgan has not yet agreed to allow access to the site for the operation to begin tomorrow. He has requested further information, which has been supplied this afternoon. Despite this he has yet to give permission for Blakeley’s to access the site. Therefore, at present we cannot begin the clearance tomorrow as planned until Mr Morgan removes his objections.”
EA 27/7/2012 "Steve Molyneux, Environment Manager for the Environment Agency said, "We are pleased that we have been able to find a solution to the problems in Oswaldtwistle.""
31/07/2012... on about only the flies "They are working with the operators to ensure that the fly problem is resolved as soon as possible. Anyone who is concerned about flies please call Hyndburn Council on 01254 388 111... and going to turn the brook luminous green? O.K. " If you are in the area you may notice the water in Lottice Brook change to a luminous green colour. This is expected and there is no need to report this to our incident hotline."... " plan for the removal of the waste from Blakeleys Waste Management limited. The plan covers how the waste is to be removed, how it is to be transported, how pest control will be managed and details of where the waste is to be sent for disposal. We have agreed the plan in principle and will ensure that the removal of waste is done safely, with minimal distruption to your community. The plan states that waste can start to be removed from the site from Wednesday 1 August."
The EA has approved another dig into the soil of chemically contaminated land AGAIN and has given the green light to remove chemically contaminated unknown waste?
Steve Molyneux, Environment Manager for the Environment Agency - have you lost the plot?
The community is very aware of the fly problem and more concerned about the rat problem and even more concerned about the chemical contamination problem of the land and water AND NOW THE RUBBISH YOU INTEND TO MOVE and even more concerned that you don't apparently share those airborn toxic communities concerns. PLEASE PROVIDE THE COMMUNITY THE COMPLETE UN-EDITED PLAN OF ACTION REGARDING NOOK LANE TOXIC CHEMICAL CONTAMINATION INCLUDING AND SHOWING ALL PARTIES INVOLVED IN THAT DECISION MAKING PROCESS OF WHICH THE COMMUNITY WAS APPARENTLY NOT A PARTY TO; THE OSWALDTWISTLE COMMUNITY HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW. THANK YOU.

obvious that nothing can be removed until its been
established what is on the site. This press release by
blakeleys waste is a very unprofessional one that
seems only to blame another party. I think I've read
three, all of which are very amateurish as you'd expect from a company responsible for making an
illegal landfill site.
They should in theory have all this information on the waste transfer notices... Well if it was legal anyway!
But if there has been some cross contamination with the chemicals when they've been excavating, I wouldn't think they'd be allowed to touch anything.
I agree whiole heartedly. The EA is acting unethically and immorally, perhaps illegally, very apparently regarding their current decisions to allow a dig into the land. Let the rubbish buried stay buried - it's common sense not to disturb any more chemicals. Regarding removing contaminated waste from above the land, the same mistake cannot be said that "we acted in good faith" and did not bother to determine what we were removing or if it was chemically contaminated.
The EA is behaving like morons very similiar to their unprofessional statement. The point must be made and stressed over and over and over again until they bloody well start listening and applying some good northern common sense. Thank you Ian for your common sense. Please donate some to the Environmental agency(emphasis on mental).
