Memorandum submitted by Cllr Mrs Patricia
Wyatt
I have had many meetings with various personnel
working for the Environment Agency. Regarding matters appertaining
to water problems in our area, they have been dealt with satisfactorily.
However, as a Rugby Borough Councillor, dealing
with matters appertaining to the general environment and quality
of life in this area, the service by the Environment Agency is
simply not acceptable. The residents I represent including myself
and family, live within two kilometres of the giant cement factory
and unless the powers of the EA officers is significantly strengthened
and without the fear of compensation being awarded to applicants,
the public cannot be awarded an environmentally friendly and enhanced
healthy life. Industry is far too powerful and mighty which leads
to complex complications and lack of confidence.
In my opinion Defra is too cosy with Government,
and all the bodies need in-depth scrutiny.
I am running out of time like Cinderella.
