Ah the sites of the Rattlechain lagoon. Plenty of seagulls and sand in late Summer. I just need me deck chair and shades and the world could role by around me.
I nearly had a little trip down John’s Lane tother day. Raised manhole you see from those heavy sand and soil trucks going past- complaint made to Sandwell council.
The North embankment now looks well covered.
Firstly with the Mac met, and then with more soil to cover that up as well.
Stairway to heaven
And what was this curious bit of metal that one of the diggers unearthed and then buried- a scrap piece of machinery?
Anchors?
And welcome onto site Napoleon and Bonaparte’s Dingle cousin Fergal Klaarkey.
Still about two months of this schedueled before the real work starts- the long term monitoring of the site, and the effect that it has on returning wildfowl. The human health assessment of these works will be evidenced much later than this- well after Rhodia Solvay have packed up and gone. For some there will be no escape from Rattlechain lagoon……….
We’re all goin’ on a Solvay holiday
No more workin’ for a decade or two
Fun and laughter on a Solvay holiday
No more worries for me or you
For a decade or two
We’re goin’ where the sun shines (Al)brightly
We’re goin’ where the water’s green- blue
We’ve seen it on a website,
Now let’s see if it’s true
Everybody has a Solvay holiday
Doin’ things they always wanted to
So we’re goin’ on a Solvay holiday
To make our dreams come true
For me and you
We’re goin’ where the the scenes unsightly
We’re goin’ where the water’s green-blue
We’ve seen it on a webiste
Now let’s see Monsieur Clamadieu
Everybody has a Solvay holiday
Doin’ things they always wanted to
So we’re goin’ on a Solvay holiday
To make our dreams come true
For me and you
