Dear Resident,
Suffering from dust, odours and pongs from the work at Rattlechain lagoon? You have been invited to contact the site operators or their environmental consultants, who will tell you all sorts of stories about how they are trying to minimise the impact of their works.
What they really want is your data. Your name and address, email and telephone numbers. This will make it easier for them to monitor you if you happen to be persistently troublesome to them. Take our word for it!
- DO NOT CONTACT THEM OR GIVE THEM ANY PERSONAL DATA OR HEALTH INFORMATION UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ABOUT YOU OR YOUR FAMILY.
- DO NOT LET THEM IN YOUR HOUSE.
- DO NOT LET THEM PUT “EQUIPMENT” IN YOUR HOUSE OR GARDEN.
- DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THEM CARING ABOUT YOUR WELLBEING.
You have the legal right to make a complaint to Sandwell council’s environmental health department.
Call: 0121 569 6600
It is important to make your voice known to them and not the site operators.
Some people may remember the dire situation concerning large volumes of foundry sand being moved about on what is now known as “the mound” adjacent to Rattlechain lagoon and McDonald Close in the Temple Way area throughout the 1990’s. Many of those living there took the lull in operations as the chance to get out.
40 lorry loads -7 days a week of sand are stated to be being delivered to Rattlechain lagoon in order to weigh down the geo-textile membrane. This exceeds any previous operations at this site. They are conditioning you to what will follow in the future, should this mound ever be shifted-
THIS IS NOT ABOUT PROTECTING BIRDS- IT IS ABOUT PROTECTING THEM- AND IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN.
PROTECT YOURSELF- AND ALWAYS BEWARE OF GREEKS BEARING GIFTS!
