Residents still concerned about the proposed waste transfer facility at Hollingdean Lane, Brighton, may now like to consider an issue which might have passed them by before - the risk of fire.
Recently there was a huge fire at a waste transfer station in East London - a 200m cordon was set up around the site because of fears about gas cylinders.
This is a very real risk and residents, local businesses and schools should demand a risk assessment from Onyx, Brighton and Hove City Council and the Fire Service.
How can Brighton and Hove City Council possibly agree to the plans for the King Alfred site in Hove?
With GP surgeries, dentists and schools in the area already over-subscribed, where are people going to go for the above services?
How will the water supply cope? We have had a drought this summer and with more buildings, the shortage would be even worse.
Personally, I am disgusted. It is all down to money, money, money.
