I object to the plan as there has been a lack of consultation in Elmdon ward, neither residents or councillors were informed about the potential relocation of a Household Waste and Recycling Facility to the Site UK2 Land at Damson Parkway. I understand that this land is not in Elmdon ward, but it is immediately adjacent and it will largely be Elmdon residents who will be affected by the relocation. Pollution levels are already unacceptably high in this area and relocating to UK2 Site will only increase them further, which I believe is against national policy.
There seems to be little explanation in the plan for why Site UK2 Land at Damson Parkway is specifically mentioned as a location for a relocated Household and Waste Facility. There are no specific mentions of any other alternate sites and this leads to a concern that there are few if any other sites being considered. Also, no surveys have been made publicly available for residents to scrutinise.
