Augean Landfill, Published by LDA

Do you want nuclear waste dumped in your local landfill?
If not, please help us stop the disposal of low level radioactive waste at the East Northants Resource Management Facility, Kings Cliffe, Northamptonshire.

Here’s what Augean plc wants to do:

  • Make Kings Cliffe the only landfill site in the UK allowed to accept low-levelradioactive waste
  • Be allowed to keep burying that waste here for another 13 years – at least

So where is the East Northants Resource Management Facility?

If you live in East Northamptonshire it's right on your door step.

How far have they got?

  • Nobody else wants this to happen
  • The County Council has already turned them down
  • Augean plc has gone to Appeal, to try to get that decision overturned
  • The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, Eric Pickles, has the final say on 24 May 2011
With a bit of help from YOU, we who live here can make it impossible for Eric Pickles to agree to Augean’s plans. How could the man who invented ‘localism’ ignore the clear wishes of local people?
