We oppose the Sinfin Lane Waste Plant
We are against Derby City Council’s proposal to build a new waste disposal plant at the Old Tannery site on Sinfin Lane.
Sinfin residents should not suffer again just to solve the long existing problem of how to dispose of the City Council owned site.
Other reasons for opposing the project are:
* Delivery vehicles taking waste to the site will make what is now a bad traffic situation much worse and generate more air pollution.
* The Size of the Plant is excessive for Derby’s needs over 65% of the waste will be transported in from outside the city.
* No specific benefit for Sinfin residents from the plant. The Council are even refusing to allow them a credit for the electricity to be generated.
This industrial site should be placed in an area which has an adequate transport network and away from any residential properties.
We request that the Council Cabinet reject the officers’ proposal to place a plant there. We call on the relevant parties to find a suitable alternative site without delay.

Threats to Play Areas in Sinfin Ward
August 6, 2008 by Baggy Shanker
Filed under Labour News
There are three Sinfin Play Areas out of the ten identified for the whole of the City of Derby by Derby City Council for closure:
- There is one on Sinfin Moor Park which is different from the other one there and one cannot replace the other
- there is one on Sinfin Lane Recreation Ground, and
- there is the one at Cotton Lane Activity Centre.
Three in Sinfin Ward out of ten play areas in Derby is not right!
It is unacceptable to us that we should lose any play facilities in addition to Sinfin Ward people having the former QDF site with waste handling facilities imposed on us.
We need more opportunities for children to be active in safe environments – not fewer.
We object to the council’s plan to close and not to improve our play areas and call on it to improve all of them so as to maximise the healthy opportunities for our children.
We ask you to sign our petition.

Labour’s Baggy Shanker is keen to involve local residents in the discussions about what happens to the old Rolls Royce factory site.
Speaking to Labour Voice he said:
“I want to make sure that every household in Osmaston is consulted and involved in the Master Planning for the re-development of the Nightingale Road site”.
