Safer Neighborhood - Car crime prevention
|
|
Huge Waste Disposal Site on our doorstep
|
|
A new site 1 mile across with rubbish stacked 8 metres high is planned for Egginton Heath, next to the Biffs Composting Site. Further details can be obtained from any member of the Parish Council. Please write to:
Minerals and Waste Framework Team,
Environmental Services,Derbyshire County Council, Shand House, Dale Road South,
Matlock DE4 3RY
Heading - Waste Disposal DPD - Severn Trent landholding/ Etwall and Egginton Common
The principal issues are:
Visual impact – huge site with 3 chimneys each 300ft high, with huge surrounding fence, a mile across with rubbish piled 8 metres high in flat open farmland.
Pollution - smells, rats, flies, wind blown paper.
HGV impact - 1,400 lorry movements per day. Proposed access off A38.
Bird strike – impact of seagulls swamping the area, bird droppings, noise, damage to cars and aircraft.
Flood risk – impervious membrane beneath, watering of rubbish to keep down dust will add to water run off problems. Anything that adds to our flooding problems is extremely unwelcome.
Effect on value of a large number of local properties – just guess !

Youth Alpha course
|
|
'Youth Alpha is an opportunity to find out more and discuss the Christian faith. Atheists, agnostics and Christians are all welcome to talk about God, life and the universe in a relaxed atmosphere with no agenda to convert people. Those with a faith already can explore it more deeply and those with doubts can raise their questions.
Over the seven weeks we will be looking at such topics as 'Is there more to life than this?', 'Who is Jesus?', 'How can we have faith?', 'Why and How should we read the Bible?', and 'What about the Church'.
The weekend away will be held in Matlock Bath. Morning and afternoon sessions will focus on the Holy Spirit, with a time for fun and relaxation in the afternoon with the delights of Matlock Bath. In the evening there will be a chance for worship and prayer for those who want to do so. For more details click here.

ROAR
|
Etwall & Egginton Express
|
|
R.O.A.R. is a residents' Action Group set up in order to represent the best interests of people living in the villages surrounding Egginton Common, the proposed site for a railhead and associated warehousing development. The land is owned by Severn Trent Water, who is expected to lodge a planning application with the South Derbyshire District Council in 2009.
This possible industrial development, on one of the largest Greenfield sites in rural South Derbyshire, is huge. It could have a massive impact on our area and the quality of life for all residents in surrounding communities. The total proposed development of large-scale warehouses and a railhead could initially cover around 400 acres, centred on the north and west of the railway line.
Contact R.O.A.R.for more information.
