Dear ED neighbours,

for the last 24hrs choking bonfire or fireplace or incinerator smoke has been fouling air somewhere in this district.


The layer of fog keeps it near ground level and it's not dispersing.

Worse, some of the stink is clearly coming from plastics being burnt.


We are all being poisoned by the chemicals released when this happens. Many times I post re: wildlife, but this air affects humans too. Combined with exhaust fumes and the extra cold-season output from domestic boilers it adds up to a lot for lungs to deal with, even for people in robust health - for newborns, the older generation, anyone already ill it is very serious. The 'burnt plastic' chemical vapour is really toxic to anyone in pregnancy.


I am not interested in blaming anyone, only requesting that whoever can do something about this, acts pronto. If it is your fire or if it is from somebody you know about. Please.

It was terrible in my garden today - opened the back door and it was like walking into a chemical cloud. I live on Barry Rd and could hear machinery a few gardens away so assumed that's where the smoke was coming from but not sure. Wherever it was coming from, it was horrible. Found its way into the living room too - eek!

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
