STEERING GROUP LAUNCHED TO VOICE CONCERNS ON WASTE PLANT

Sinfin’s Labour Councillors and local residents have established a steering group to voice the concerns of local people about the location of the proposed waste treatment plant on Sinfin Lane.

One of their first actions has been to compile a list of unanswered questions, which they have submitted to the Council. Please see attached at the foot of this press release.

They are also using the social networking website Facebook to boost their campaign, which has already attracted over 400 members.

The group will be providing information to residents in Sinfin and Osmaston about its progress and is planning further public meetings later in the year.

The group says that it doesn’t oppose the principle of converting waste into energy, but it believes more efforts should first be made to deliver increased recycling.

It will compile evidence about suitable alternative sites and the impact of a plant on Sinfin Lane such as increased traffic, size of the facility and the amount of waste from outside Derby.

The group’s spokesman, Cllr Baggy Shanker, said: “I am concerned that the consultation process still hasn’t begun even though we were told it would commence by the end of January.

“This is a poor start, considering a full planning application is due in April. If public opinion is to be properly considered, people should be given enough time to air their views”.

“I also think there are better sites available, so I’ve written to the council leader asking her to order an immediate review to see if a more suitable location can be found”.

For further details please contact Baggy Shanker at baggy.shanker@derby.gov.uk or on 07966 568992.

The Steering Group is comprised of the following members:

* Joan Spencer Kiran Dhanda Louise Noble Narinder Dhiensa
* Gary Woolley Baggy Shanker Robin Turner Martin Sear
* Scott Thompson Simon Bacon Kevin Baldwin Trevor Barnes
* Bob Hewins
