Proposed waste depot in Portobello

by **Emma** » 02 Sep 2003, 19:17

Do anyone know anything about a proposal to base a waste depot at the
freightiner terminal site? I looked on the web and it brought up a council
report from last November saying it was a contender (with Seafield) to be
the site of a waste transfer station. If both the supermarket proposed for the Scottish Power site and the waste depot go ahead (even if it's at Seafield) it's going to have an untenable impact on traffic at the two roundabouts.

This is shocking
Do you know if there are any definate plans or are these just proposals?
I havn't heard anything at all about this on the radio, TV or in the press.

I do not want any more waste sites of any kind. Portobello appears to be a dumping site for all and sundry. I also agree with your point about the traffic. It is aweful as it is. Very Dangerous for children and cyclists.

I've resurrected this thread in the light of today's story in the EN:

My quote doesn't really make sense. What I said was that everyone wanted to see brownfield sites being regenerated and that I also understood that the Council had a requirement to find a site for waste sorting and recycling, but that such facilities should be kept well away from from areas where people live.

I too think that the Freightliner site sounds ideal for the waste site providing that we can get enough safeguards and assurances about smell, pollution etc.

(I just have a slight problem with Diana Cairns telling the media that the community is against it when she has no more idea than I have.)

I think that you are being far too reasonable about this ali. Surely you must understand by now that faced with a contentious issue you must believe it to be the best thing since sliced bread or the work of the Devil himself. The Community must be 97% behind it or totally opposed to it. Get with the script!
