'Let us breathe!' Kids plea at Harlesden Incinerator protest


Between 250 and 300 residents and their supporters from the Labour and Green parties massed on the narrow Channel Gate Road, which is flanked by streets of terraced railway cottages, near Willesden Junction this morning to greet councillors on the Ealing Council planning committee.

As we stood there heavy trucks trundled by at regular intervals, sometimes 2 or 3 nose to tail, making the crowd wonder just what kind of hell they will face in the future if the new plant is built in addition to the Powerday facility which already causes them much suffering.


Their message was clear - we want clean air to breathe and safe and pollution free streets for our children. The protesters were able to put their case to the councillors and will be attending the Planning Committee at Ealing Town Hall on Wednesday November 6th, assembling outside from 6.30pm. The application will be first on the agenda at 7pm.

Harlesden Incinerator: Residents ready for Round 2 of battle for clean air


If Clean Power and Ealing Council thought local residents would forget about the plans for an incinerator at Willesden Junction on the borders of Harlesden and Park Royal, this morning's demonstration should give them pause for thought.Cllr Zaffar van Kalwala and Cllr Claudia Hectors joined residents, cancer patients and environmental protesters to give notice that they were up for a fight to defeat the plans.

It is hoped that 500 people will turn up to line Channel Gate Road next Saturday, November 2nd at 10am  the morning when the Ealing Planning Committee pays a 10.30am site visit.  A huge turnout is needed for the Planning Committee meeting itself on November 6th.
