The Pinkham Way Alliance is appealing to the public to support its campaign to prevent the building of waste processing facilities in Pinkham Wood (next to the North Circular in New Southgate, just past the railway bridge).
The Alliance has sent the following email to its supporters and is asking for wider support from the community:
Haringey's Sites Allocation (SA) consultation is underway; please sign up now in support of the PWA response.
This is vital to our campaign. It will determine the extent to which the Pinkham Way habitat and its biodiversity can be protected for future generations.
Since the beginning of the campaign, a number of surveys have been carried out that confirm Pinkham Way is a high value ecological site that should be preserved and managed to enhance its rich biodiversity.
Although Haringey, much to its credit, is now applying proper planning principles, it's still under pressure from site owners, North London Waste Authority (NLWA) and Barnet Council, to permit waste or some other use there. We can be certain that the NLWA, having paid £12m for its portion, will push very hard for the site to be used for waste in some way.
Together, let's make sure that the quite extraordinary progress we've made over the last four years (can you believe it's really that long?) is followed through as firmly as possible.
Please sign here in support of the PWA position by 5pm on Wednesday 25 March.
You can read details of the response here.
Alternatively, please do make your own submission to Haringey if you prefer.
As ever, the more members of your household that sign the better. Please pass these details to your friends and neighbours too.
CONSULTATION MEETING - WED 25 MARCH
We're inviting you to a public meeting to hear your views and to discuss and finalise the PWA response to this consultation. Please come along; the bigger the attendance the more impact our campaign will have.
Join us on Wednesday 25 March, 7pm, at Hollickwood School, Sydney Road, N10 2NL.
Kind regards,
Stephen Brice
Chair
Pinkham Way Alliance
