More China Gateway

I have just published follow up letter to the Council for the Protection of Rural England objection click here to read it

Personally I am horrified that we should even be contemplating building an industrial estate on top of our underground drinking water reservoir, where the operators of the site would be responsible for processing their own industrial waste and sewage, which would then be pumped into soakaways.

I am also appalled that the drainage from the lorry parks will go untreated into soakaways on top of our drinking water supply, it would take only one lorry driver to flush out a contaminated tanker into the drains for our water supply to be poisoned.

Should you wish to you can now object to the building of the China Gateway online by using the comments link on the application, feel free to copy any bits of my objection, to find the application online you need to go to the Thanet planning website and put the planning application number TH/08/0400 in the search box.

There are other sites in the area, that would be sutable, that are neither on agricultural land nor on top of the porous chalk that hold and collects our drinking water, the most obvious being Richborough power station.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
