CEMEX HITS THE BUFFERS

AS RESIDENTS START TO FIGHT BACK!LONG LAWFORD PARISH COUNCIL decided last night that the planning application for the half million tonne waste plant was a step too far. They threw it out unanimously on many varied grounds, including : the air quality deterioration; increased health risk; fire risk; transport  and pollution impact of the hundreds more Heavy Goods Vehicles; danger to public health of the bacteria emissions from the planned  MBT in an urban area; unsuitability of location; already high levels of
industrial emissions;  cumulative total of environmental and pollution impacts of Cemex operations; Health Impact Assessment required!.

SOUTHAM IS THE ONLY POSSIBILITY! THE DISUSED RAILWAY MUST BE RE-OPENED - IT WAS SAFE-GUARDED FOR RUGBY CEMENT'S USE AT A COST OF MILLIONS TO THE PUBLIC! THIS WOULD REMOVE 400,000 + DAILY LORRY MILES BETWEEN SOUTHAM/RUGBY!

CEMEX IN BIG TROUBLE -DAVENPORT USA ITS NOT ONLY THE WASTE FUEL TRIALS, BUT ALTERNATIVE RAW MATERIALS

ALSO cause  trouble for Cemex , with the MONTEREY BAY air quality department, after the substitution of  some raw materials by  industrial waste . This  appears to have lead to a TENFOLD  increase in CHROMIUM SIX being formed, and found in the dust down wind of the plant, apparently  from the MILL SCALE and STEEL SLAG. Erin Brockovich is rushing to help,  as public  meetings are called,  and health checks carried out for the increased cancer risk associated with these emissions.

ALTERNATIVE WASTE RAW MATERIALS - WITHOUT  EU WASTE CODES!
Where else are they trialling the use of these wastes?  No prizes for guessing!
Is this dust from the main stack, low level point source stacks, and vents or fugitives?
How does Rugby Borough Council test  for this cancer-causing toxic dust?
It doesn't even know about it - RBC hiding its head, ostrich like, in piles of cement kiln dust!
