CONTROVERSIAL plans to dump radioactive waste in Kings Cliffe have resurfaced.
Augean Plc have placed an appeal to the Secretary of State to get the decision overturned.
The company was originally refused permission to dump approximately 250,000 tons of radioactive waste just a few miles from Apethorpe by the County Council back in March.
The firm's appeal can be viewed at: http://www.northamptonshire.gov.uk/en/councilservices/Environ/planning/planapps/Pages/CurrentAppeals.aspx
We'll keep you posted on developments, and if you would like to know more then email Malcolm Winder and let him know you'd like to attend a meeting on June 8 where this will be discussed (see story below).

Village meeting to be scrapped?
TEMPORARY Chairman Malcolm was disappointed to report the worst attendance to the Village Meeting and AGM ever.
Just 12 people attended and Malcolm claims this was the worst attendance in three years.
In a note to the village, Malcolm said: "Due to the scarcity of people it was not possible to discuss a number of on-going topics nor plan for the future nor take a formal vote for Officers to the Meeting.
Malcolm is now suggesting that the village meeting may have run its course.
An emergency meeting has now been arranged for Tuesday June 8. The main topic is a presentation from Augean plc about their proposals to dump 250,000 tons of radioactive waste in Kings Cliffe.
Malcolm would also like to propose a discussion around the village meeting and if it should be run in a different way. Malcolm said: "If few people attend then the lack of interest vote wins!"
If you could let Malcolm know by June 1 on email if you could attend.

'Help! I've lost a wheelchair'
IF anyone has a wheelchair that was leant to you by Glenda Kerruish please can she have it back?
Glenda lent the wheelchair to someone and can't remember who and now needs to loan it to another friend but simply can't find it.
The wheelchair is black and lightweight so it can easily fit into a car boot with the arm rests removed. If anyone knows it's whereabouts please contact Glenda on: 01780-470495 or email: gkerruish@aol.com
