FURTHER COBRA WASTE RECOVERY FACILITY.
I STRONGLY OBJECT ON THE FOLLOWING GROUNDS.
IHAVE OWNED INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY IN DURSLEY RD SINCE 1987,DURING THESE 35 YEARS I HAVE SEEN THE AREA GROW CONSIDERABLY WHICH HAS BEEN GOOD FOR THE AREA, BOTH IN EMPLOYMENT AND BUSINESS .
WOOLWORTHS HAVE THERE MAJOR DISTRIBUTION FACILITY OPPOSITE MY PREMISES THEY EMPLOY APPROX 3,000 PEOPLE AND OPPERATE 24 HOURS A DAY 7 DAYS A WEEK.
IN ADDITION YOU HAVE MANY NEW FACTORIES AND WAREHOUSES ON THE OLD TUBMAKERS SITE AS WELL AS THE OLD COMALCO SITE THIS HAS BROUGHT A LOT OF EMPLOYMENT AND INDUSTRY TO THE AREA.DUE TO THE LARGE NUMBER OF TRUCKS COMING IN AND OUT OF THE AREA THIS HAS PUT A LOT OF PRESURE ON DURSLEY RD
A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO DUE TO THE HIGH TRUCK MOVEMENTS IN AND OUT OF THIS AREA ,THE COUNCIL CLOSED TRUCK MOVEMENTS SOUTH OF LOFTUS STREET IN PINE RD TO STOP THE RESIDENTUAL STREETS IE FAIRFIELD STREET FROM BEING BLOCKED WITH HEAVY TRUCKS.
ALLSO LOFTUS STREET WHERE IT MEETS MILITARY RD IS PROHIBITED FOR TRUCKS.
THIS MEANS THAT ALL TRUCKS ENTERING OR LEAVING THE AREA MUST USE DURSLEY RD.AT VARIOUS TIMES OF THE DAY IT CAN TAKE 20 MINUTES TO GET OUT OF DURSLEY RD ,IN ADDITION TRUCKS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TRAVEL FROM DURSLEY RD SOUTH ALONG FAIRFIELD RD.
WITH THE PROPOSED COBRA APPLICATION TO PROCESS 150,000 TONNES PER ANNUM AS THEY ARE A BIN COMPANY THAT WOULD NORMALY CARRY BINS HOLDING APPROX 5 TONNES THIS WOULD INCREASE THE TRUCK MOVEMTS IN AND OUT OF DURSLEY BY APPROX 60,000 PER ANNUM ,THAT DOES NOT TAKE IN TRUCKS ENTERING AND LEAVING THE AREA TO CARRY AWAY THEGENERAL SOLID WASTE.IN PEAK HOUR YOU CURRENTLY WAIT UP TO 40 MINUTS TO LEAVE DURSLEY FOR THIS REASON THE PROJECT SHOULD NOT GET APPROVAL
