Pinkham Way campaigners seeking public support

11 March 2015

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.......

Pinkham Way campaigners warn supporters to stay alert

01 July 2014

Following their major victories last year, when the North London Waste Authority (NLWA) was told to re-start the process of creating the North London Waste Plan (NLWP) and the Authority formally abandoned an extremely expensive procurement, the Pinkham Way Alliance is warning its supporters to stay alert, as they are convinced that, having bought the Pinkham Wood site, the Authority still wish to construct a large industrial plant there.  A further threat is posed by Barnet Council, who.......

Campaigners appeal for funds to help defend Pinkham Wood

28 November 2013

Two months ago campaigners against the North London Waste Authority's plans for a very long term and extremely expensive procurement contract for waste processing services were celebrating the cancellation of the procurement (see this earlier report). Although the Authority has denied it, it is almost certain that this major volte face was in large part due to the effectiveness of the campaign run by the Pinkham Way Alliance. However, the Alliance is not resting on its laurels. It has now.......

Victory for Pinkham Way campaigners as waste authority abandons expensive procurement plan

28 September 2013

A two-year campaign aimed at persuading North London councils to scale down their plans for building new waste processing capacity and at preserving a wooded area adjacent to the North Circular Road scored a significant victory this week, when the North London Waste Authority (NLWA) announced that it was abandoning its plan for an expensive long-term procurement. Since 2011 the Pinkham Way Alliance has been campaigning against the planned construction of a large facility at Pinkham Wood, close.......

Waste authority continuing to press for construction of Pinkham Way facility

07 August 2013

In the face of a determined campaign led by the Pinkham Way Alliance, the North London Waste Authority (NLWA) remains set on building a large new waste processing facility at Pinkham Wood (between Friern Barnet and Bounds Green). In late July the Haringey Independent reported that the NLWA Chairman had rebuked Hornsey and Wood Green MP Lynne Featherstone for signing a petition organised by the Pinkham Way Alliance and stated that "the Pinkham Way site remains central to NLWA’s future.......

Petition launched for revised approach to waste in North London

04 July 2013

North London residents are being asked to sign and promulgate a petition calling for a complete rethink about planning for the future of waste processing and disposal across the area.  The petition, organised by the Pinkham Way Alliance (PWA), calls on the North London Waste Authority (NLWA) to abandon its current plans to let out a 30-year contract for the handling of waste from seven North London boroughs and instead develop a completely revised waste plan which would not bind the.......

Urgent call for community input to new waste plan

04 June 2013

The Southgate Green Association is calling for members of the public to respond before Friday 7 June to official consultation on the redrafting of the London Waste Plan (see this earlier report).  It is recommending to its members and to the public across the whole of North London that they use or adapt the wording of a draft letter provided by the Pinkham Way Alliance. Some of the most important points made in the draft letter are: That the previous version of the Waste Plan does not.......

Appeal to help block Pinkham Way tree clearance plan

28 May 2013

The Pinkham Way Alliance (PWA) has appealed to members of the public to submit objections to an application by the North London Waste Authority (NLWA) to carry out "tree preservation" at the Authority's Pinkham Way site.  The PWA considers that this is a thinly disguised attempt to diminish the conservation value of this site, which is a Grade 1 Site for the Importance of Nature Conservation and a probable foraging and roosting site for bats. The ecological significance of the site is one.......

Public consulted over North London Waste Plan relaunch

24 May 2013

Seven borough councils have been forced by a legal ruling to restart the process of drawing up a North London Waste Plan (NLWP) and are inviting members of the public to input their views and suggestions. The first version of the NLWP, which was finalised in 2012, proved highly controversial and prompted the creation of a campaigning group, the Pinkham Way Alliance (PWA).  The original spur to the creation of the PWA was the planned construction of a large waste processing facility on an.......
