Thames Water are now included in a group of major water providers who have approached the Environment Agency for permission to bring in drought measures, including extraction of additional water from rivers and hose pipe bans.

So how will they and the Environment Agency justify providing a permit to SITA allowing for the use of over 100,000 litres of water PER DAY in an un-proven (The ASAs words) development such as the incinerator at the Eco Park?

News

Surrey County Council have today voted 9-2 (1 Abstention) in favour of building the Eco Park.

Our hopes now rely on Spelhorne Borough Council bringin the case up for a Judicial Review. This in itself will be no small task, not only becasue of the significant cost that may be incurred - tens of thousands of pounds; but be in doubt that Surrey CC will put extreme pressure on SBC.

This also raises concern for the wider population of Surrey as SCC have already indicated that 3 of these developments will be required to cater for the total volume of waste produced, so there wil lbe more plans in the pipeline.

This is a dark day for Shepperton and the surrounding area, spelthorne and Surrey generally.

SHAME ON SURREY COUNCILLORS.

Briefly About Us

Spelthorne Against the Eco Park is a group of residents from in and around the Shepperton, Charlton Village, Lower sunbury and Upper Halliford area, who oppose the Sita development of what is being called an Eco Park.

Sita Surrey Ltd and Surrey County Council are currently pushing through plans to develop what is being called an Eco Park.

This will consist of a Recycling Centre, an Anerobic Digestion Facility, and most worryingly an Batch Oxidation System Gasification Plant (BOS Gasification) Incinerator by any other definition.

(DIRECTIVE 2000/76/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 4 December 2000
on the incineration of waste)

Please take a few moments to read through articles on the site, join our group on Facebook, and support the campaign to stop this development fast.
