<\/a><\/p>\nBut it is here that the mystery started to deepen, as there was originally no information whatsoever on Sandwell council’s planning website about what chemicals are being considered in this application or what risks they may pose more importantly to the local residents and wider community- already living in the shadow of a consultation zone living in fear. It is clear however from searching the location of the Solvay factory that this application now has the reference number HS\/040 <\/span>and that the application has been received. <\/strong><\/p>\n But up until very recently , why Sandwell council when one clicks on this application did the reader receive only the following????<\/p>\n There is also mystery as to why ALL<\/strong> of the documents associated with the previous hazardous substance consents at this site have been removed by someone behind Sandwell council’s planning website. They were once there as I saved many of them prudently and have detailed some of the applications and the chemicals and associated risks on this website.<\/p>\n Why are Sandwell council denying members of the public and the local community living in this area an opportunity to view the risks associated with this major hazard site? Are residents just expected to believe the lying spin of chemical company who have always maintained that their site and the dangerous chemicals within it pose no risks whilst waiting for the sirens to sound when something goes wrong, that is if they<\/em> decide when it is an offsite \u00a0“risk” ?<\/strong><\/p>\n It should be remembered at this point about the form of this company- change their name they may, but the site history as Rhodia and Albright and Wilson leaves much to be desired.<\/p>\n The 2009 leak of phosphine gas rumbled on for years under “investigation” during which time this company did nothing but obstruct and delay the investigation to protract it for years.<\/a>\u00a0 They were eventually found guilty and fined\u00a0, despite protestations for an event that was entirely their own fault\u00a0with the incident being reported to The European Commission.<\/p>\n Dirty business as usual<\/p><\/div>\n The Express and Star advert invites the reader to contact one “Dr” Tom Duttton<\/strong> if they want to view the application. One should\u00a0 consider that this man, (employed\u00a0in numerous health and safety posts \u00a0at Albright and Wilson and Rhodia ) was the same who famously stated that the chemicals in Rattlechain lagoon was “the stuff used in toothpaste”<\/span> . This bullshit bare faced lie restricted the investigation into the cause of deaths of the birds at the site caused purely by the hazardous white phosphorus that their entire operation at\u00a0Trinity Street\u00a0has always been based on. The failures at the plant\u00a0in 2009 were on his watch.<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n It is now apparent after contacting Sandwell council that this hazardous substance application actually seeks to increase the pressure of phosphine being used at the site. YOU COULD NOT MAKE THIS SHIT UP!<\/p>\n HS\/040 has subsequently been rebranded “Modification to quantity of phosphine stored and used and proposed storage and use of Hezene, hydrogen peroxide and cyanex on site”<\/strong><\/p>\n I will look in more depth about the documents that have now finally been put on Sandwell council’s website but this pressure cooker mixture only serves to add greater risk to people already living in the face of a previous toxic assault.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n MILL LANE DEVELOPMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n Of course\u00a0local residents\u00a0may be lucky enough to have a Solvay calendar propaganda pamphlet delivered lovingly \u00a0(bi yearly)\u00a0 by\u00a0a clapped out former councillor along with a copy of the latest Labour Rose. \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n But what of the\u00a0permissioned new development at Mill Street, as well as other plots very near to the Solvay works? Are these to be considered relevant by those making decisions about this hazardous substance consent? Has this timing been deliberately delayed so that the application for housing was granted BEFORE Solvay asked for more from their chemistry?<\/p>\n New homes in the shadow of a COMAH SITE<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It was recently revealed in a concealed application next to a couple of dodgy massage parlour adverts in The Express and Star Newspaper that the serial polluters and toxic chemical assaulters of PO Box 80 Trinity Street have applied to … Continue reading <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>
