Why you should sign our petition!

Why are we talking about an Urban Village, when we were only talking about Veolia a couple of weeks ago? Simple. We’re trying to prevent applications like Veolia happening again, to protect us from all the hard work we went through – though, sure, parts of it were great fun and the result was huge!

If we can get the Urban Village idea, adopted by Lincoln City Council planners 19 years ago, carried forward into the new Central Lincolnshire Local Plan, then that reasonably reduces the type of commercial / industrial work that can be carried on there.

Allow the planners to ‘lose’ our Urban Village status, and their intention to allow greater levels of industry could be serious later on. We will fight again if we have to, but this petition may – only may – make that less likely.

So get signing! Tell your friends. Pass it on. Post it wherever you legally can. There are 1,000 voters in this area – let’s show the council that we agree on this…

Welcome

An information portal about the proposed Veolia Waste Transfer facility, Lincoln.

Update: In January 2018 Veolia abandoned their appeal against planning refusal. As part of this withdrawal process StopVeolia (& LLRA) were awarded costs against Veolia, due to their unreasonable behaviour. We are hopeful that Veolia have realised that the activity they proposed is inappropriate in our community. LLRA hold a legal defence fund of circa £12,000 in the event that Veolia re-apply.
