A delegation is going to see the Council Cabinet on Monday 18th June. Approaches are to be made to Onyx to come to a meeting with us. Particular concerns were raised about the clinical incinerator. When members of Impact visited the site last year we were told that the emissions from the clinical incinerator were through the main chimney. Low level radioactive waste is burnt here.
Medical waste is stored in the yard for long periods.
It is supposed to be cleared within 48 hours and the containers are supposed to be locked. We are told that this is not the case. Vermin and birds scavenge in the waste which contains all forms of hospital waste, presumably even body parts. Impact are urgently asking the Council to investigate this situation. An email list of activists has been set up to share information.
