Illegal Burning Waste Tip – Forum, 12.00 to 14.00 Friday, 17th June 2016 –Las Ramblas Club House
Many of you will know that for the past few years I have, with your help, been actively campaigning to try and put a stop to the toxic fumes and emissions emanating from the smouldering waste tip close to our Community. In our fight we have used the media, legal and political processes to put as much pressure as we can on the landowner concerned and other relevant authorities. The result, we have, with a great deal of help from C.L.A.R.O, and others, just won a major victory.
Many of you will have seen reported in the Press, and perhaps witnessed yourselves, that action has been taken to cover the escape of gases with tons of earth and sand and that the new Government in Valencia has insisted on this action. Much still remains to be done but we should not under estimate the progress that has been made.
A Forum to discuss this issue and the general problem of illegal waste tips has been arranged and will be held on Friday, 17th June between 12.00 and 14.00 at the Las Ramblas Club House. We will have guest speakers from the Valencian Parliament, Vertivega, who specialise in denouncing illegal waste tips and who have actively helped us, C.L.A.R.O and others who will be able to bring us up-to-date on progress being made and what further action we may need to take.
We anticipate the media being present and it is important that good support is shown so that we can show that we are not complacent and that much still remains to be done.
We need to show continuing solidarity, please do your best to try and be in attendance.
