Plans unveiled to build Leeds waste incinerator

[Crazy Jane]

Maybe someone with a sick sense of humour decided to stick it real near to BTCV's Skelton Grange Environmental Education Centre just to cheese them off... once it fires up maybe they won't need the thermal transfer pump anymore(!) Thumbs down on the smell thing though... we had 'brown waste' being stashed off Kirkstall Road for most of last summer and the stench was hideous, not to mention the flies that kept doing themselves in in your coffee and you didn;t find them until you got to the bottom or worse took the last mouthfull

Surely the incinerator isn't going to be that close? I'm guessing they'll do what they've done in Seacroft and Gipton. Knock down loads of council houses, sell the land off to a private developer who will run out of cash and have to get bailed out by the council to prevent the whole project going belly up, who will then sell the rabbit hutch sized houses for a tidy sum while providing a tiny percentage of the site for "affordable housing" (1 bed flat for £75k?).Possibly. Moi? I just say what I see... Good to see you back after all this time.It is funny how politics works though, isn't it?     Can tell your from East Leeds. Knicked my post and got rid of the original. Joking aside, I can see where your coming from. In the west leeds area, next to the gyratory, they wanted to demolish hundreds of decent houses, all be it a tad older and sell the land to Private developers. Got it stopped and their now spending good money making all the properties decent again. LCC will try to get away with murder if people are not o nthe ball.

Simon, despite the extended period during which you 'accommodated' our two admins in the depths of your old dark cellar, their stance on the use of inappropriate language, disguised or otherwise seems to have remained unchanged and removed.I understand that in your case your treatment will remain harsh, in retribution for the rather out of date Beer seemingly saved from a previous life which you force-fed them during said incarceration.
