There is more
to be done on the future of Wapseys Wood since its status
remains as a possible Strategic Waste Site and its owners
may seek to use it for other purposes. We need to keep a
close eye on the possible impact on our community.
We also need
to work closely with the County Council on the impact on our
area of all Waste disposal plans, including transport .
Also on FLEXIBILITY, a main theme of our objections. The
need for this has become clearer as the economics of
recycling are changing with technologies and rapid increases
in prices of materials: such as plastic (oil based), paper,
metals and other raw materials. Some local authorities are
missing out on the opportunities by being locked into long
term contracts – while others in the UK and even more in the
USA are financially benefiting from the opportunities.
Play
Equipment on the Common
We are adding
to the popular play area on the Common with two new pieces
of equipment, after consultation. These are a 4 metre high
Activity Climbing Net and a 30 metre long Aerial Runway
- these will be installed next month and we hope will be
enjoyed by appropriate under 12's.
