Heart of Hackney

Thanks to Anna @BBCRadioLondon for talking to us in HW this morning (from 7.08) about the vapour from the Ardmore/Notting Hill Genesis/ LLDC site at Wallis Road bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:b… #cleanairHW #cleanair #contaminatedland – at Hackney, London

⬇️🚨⬇️ Our BBC London news interview didn’t mention the naphthalene, benzene, hydrocarbons, lead, arsenic etc that contaminate the ground in HW.. not just a bad smell! 😷 But our friends in Southall & Hayes understand. Solidarity #cleanairHW #hackneywick #cleanair – at Hackney, London

Exactly this! 💯 we know ground is contaminated in HW & leukaemia-causing benzine was released in 2018, yet here we go again in 2024. Has planning process not learned & conditioned to mitigate for the release of harmful vapour? Will this happen again&again with each new site? – at Hackney, London

Oh dear. Looks like after Ardmore Group/LLDC/NottingHillGenesis were made to stop work after giving neighbours headaches&nausea they covered the piling sites with plastic, BUT.. the covers have blown off. Are these ‘mitigations’ of potentially toxic airpollution HW should expect? – at Hackney, London
