NEWSFLASH! No Nuclear Waste for Kings Cliffe!
CONTROVERSIAL plans to dump radioactive waste in Kings Cliffe, just 2.5 miles from Apethorpe, have been refused at a high-level meeting in Northampton today.
Waste management company Augean Plc applied to store the low level radioactive waste in Kings Cliffe but following pressure from villagers, local group Kings Cliffe Wastewatchers and Apethorpe's very own Chariman of the Village meeting, Malcolm Winder, the plans were today scrapped.
The plans which could have seen 250,000 tonnes of radioactive waste dumped each year until 2013 right on our doorstep were canned today by Northamptonshire County Council's Development Control Committee.
Malcolm Winder will update Apethorpe villagers on this fantastic news at next week's Village Meeting on Tuesday March 23.

Last chance to fight radioactive proposal
CHAIRMAN of the village meeting, Malcolm Winder, has alerted us to an urgent meeting concerning the dumping of radioactive waste in King's Cliffe.
The Development Control Committee of Northamptonshire County Council are meeting at 10am on Tuesday March 16th. Unfortunately they have a reccommendation from the Planning Officers to go ahead with the radioactive waste disposal just 2.5 miles from Apethorpe.
Malcolm has made an appointment to address the DCC on behalf of Apethorpe before they make the final decision, though Malcolm believes it is a forlorn hope that any changes can be made against the Government's will for this proposal to proceed.
If you have any views or comments which you would like Malcolm to make to the council please let him have them prior to Tuesday. Malcolm can be emailled at: mrwinder@btinternet.com or call him on: 470472.
