Kibworth Tip - local residents have their say

Kibworth Ward Lib Dems

n with the District and Parish Councils but not local villagers.

Eileen Roeber commented, “It is imperative that local people are informed and empowered to participate in decisions that affect their lives. Doing this has caused all sorts of vilification to be rained down on me. However the numbers of residents now able to have their say, and their support has vindicated my decision NOT to keep quiet about it”.

“We live in a democracy, and as such Cllrs should be protecting their residents and supporting openness in decision-making."

"I just hope that lessons are learned from this – on a personal level, no-one will shut me up and stop residents in my care from having a say on something that the Conservative-controlled County Council wanted to consider without even letting us all know."

Concerns raised at the meeting included:

• Worries of a substantial increase in large lorries going through the villages and along the A6;


• Mess from those lorries being deposited along the routes they take;


• Dangerous road made even worse by this proposal; there have already been deaths virtually adjacent to the proposed site;


• Increase traffic hazards on a detrunked road;


• Concerns relating to air pollution/smell from either/all of the above uses;


• Concerns that an Incinerator at that site would lead to further large unsightly electricity pylons;


• Residents expressed concern also that an MRF so close to their homes would add to the noise pollution they experience already;


• A local estate agent polled 400 of his clients on hearing of the proposals submitted by the land-owner and reported to the meeting that all were unanimously opposed to the proposals;


• The County Council should be looking for better sites, away from residential conurbations, or in industrial zones – with excellent access to good transport links;


• Why has land near Magna Park not been considered?

In addition, several residents wanted to the County Council to be aware that they suffer considerably from noxious smell from the composting that takes place already and they are concerned that any increase would make their present situation worse.
