WEST ST LEOMARDS-on-SEA
ITS main chance for a place in the Hall of Fame is the size of the Rubbish/WASTE TIP. The area north of Bexhill Road was used for household waste disposal from as early as 1920. The Tip now exceeds more than 20 Hectares in size and has swallowed up more than a third of the original floodplain. During very bad weather conditions gardens and properties along the north side of Bexhill Road Get flooded with foul/sewage contaminated water. The Valley just to the rear of the original tip is now a large hill, a landfill site of more than 85 meters in height from the original stream bed to its present height. The Piggy back tip installed on the north side of the hill will be completely filled sometime during the next 18months. WHERE, IS THE PROVISION FOR SAFE WASTE DISPOSAL IN YOUR PLANS? WHAT PLANS HAVE YOU PUT IN PLACE? To cope adequately with the services such as fresh water, electricity supplies, Sewage disposal in a creaking Victorian undersize pipe system? HOW will the costs affect the householders in Hastings?
Bearing in mind that at the present time BlFFA are accepting Waste Materials from all over the South of England. If the Piggy-back Tip had been used for local waste only it would have lasted many years. Is this looking after safeguarding Objectives 3? 4. Or 5.
