Bad Smell at the Sewer Taskforce?

Postby Dr Dog » Fri Feb 09, 2007 4:36 pm

Interesting reading in today's Courier, with one of the great and the good aquiring evidense that the water company aren't playing fair over the risk of pumping waste into the loch.

Yes, you really have to take your hat off to the likes of Charles Murphy, Mary Turner etc who have gave up so much of their own time to pursue this. Rather worrying what they have found and to think if they (Taskforce) had not bothered about so many things then what we would get!

I love how the pumping station fits in 8) :shock:

I take it the cheap wooden fence was in the plans then?? If so, why did the planning dept allow this in such a prominent part of the town.. Would have been far better with a stone dyke around it.

Really adds to the ambiance, eh?

I think it's disgusting if, as it appears, the water company deliberately concealed information relating to the effects of the proposed new outfall pipe.

Perhaps they were waiting for a 'good day to bury bad news', or pump it in this case.

As to why it was allowed at planning stage, it was backed by the council.

ps Do you think we might be related? ;)
