Dorothy reports from Derby (on Friday 11 December):
They signed the contract today ahead of the planning application hearing next Thursday in order to put pressure on wavering Cllrs to grant permission…
The local paper has an independent planning expert saying:
If the planning committee is seen to be fettered by the council’s decision to sign the contract then they would not be doing their job properly
There will be a vigil outside the Derby Council House, Corporation St on 17th December 5pm where they are to decide the application at 6pm – All welcome, wrap up warm – the River Derwent next to council house makes the whole area cold…

Event: Community Liaison Group Vigil
What: Protest
Host: No incinerator on Sinfin Lane, Derby – our health matters!
Start Time: Thursday, May 7 at 5:45pm
End Time: Thursday, May 7 at 7:00pm
Where: Sinfin Moor Social Club
The latest CLG- Community Liaison Group for the RRS Sinfin Lane plant. Meet at 5.45pm for a vigil outside the meeting to show our continued concerns about the proposed incineration plant.
Derby City Council have been planning a waste plant for the old tannery site for some time now. Several years ago residents successfully ousted the ‘brightstar’ idea but now the issue has rose again. Derby City Council now want to put an incinerator on this site on Sinfin lane (near the railway cottages – between Rolls Royce and Ten pin).
If they put this on this site traffic will increase (approx 200 lorries A DAY!) not only causing pollution and fumes but also increasing traffic jams around this area and the barracks!
As they are planning an incinerator, this means they will burn rubbish. This rubbish will be carted in from a large section of Derbyshire. This site and area is not suitable.
Please join this group to oppose this new incinerating plant. Sinfin and Osmaston is already a heavily industrialised and polluted area. Our health and that of our families is important.
While this groups primary aim is to stop the construction of a waste gasification plant in the Sinfin and Osmaston area the reasons behind this fight equally apply to any built up area of Derby and Derbyshire.
