Asphalt company seeks MP meeting over concerns

More big business wanting discussions behind closed doors, away from the Plebs, Secret courts, secret Bilderberg meetings,secret..etcetc, another example of the DICTATORSHIP in action, anything that will effect everyone on the island they deem secret, because they know if it is spoken of in public it will be turned down by the people, but Hey! , they have PUGH on their side so why are they worried? they will force it through anyway, like all the housing for the Immigrants, CORRUPTION, FRAUD and ignorance of public opinion is rife in this council, remember this in MAY, Mr.Turner, stick to your guns, or the guns will be turned on you in the next election

Agreed, there is nothing left to be said in private meetings on this matter. Everything should be said in public.

Dunno Peter I shall find out.

Is Mr. Turner a freemason,then?

Agree with Mr Crowe on this one, by doing it in public it also removes the chance of the old 'brown envelope' being chucked in the mix.

He doesn't have to make a decision there & then on that day, if he does & he agrees to anything, i think we would of had the wrong bloke in there in the first place.

All we need are the facts, answers to his questions that he's raised. & just to be sure he doesn't get blindsided by "mr big" aka Scott Wardrop.

No bullying, no ignoring the real issues raised, no wasting Mr Turner's time & beating around the bush

I can think of a couple of facts he stated in his letter, ageing epuipment produced to standards & regulations now over 20 years old. 12 full time jobs for 10,15 even 20 years. What about the site once the PFI is done.

If shipping the asphalt to the island & cost is the main problem for them can't they broker some sort of deal with red funnel or wightlink, did they try working that into their original cost estimates. Surely there are many places in the south that could provide asphalt, just as easy.

If this meeting is done behind closed doors than this speaks volumes of the contempt Eurovia Roadstone has for the residents of the Medina Valley.

I remember how Eurovia Roadstone treated the peoples questions at a East Cowes Town Hall meeting last year and how they disregarded the worries that the Asphalt plant raised, like a piece of rubbish thrown to the floor.

So please Andrew not behind closed doors, please keep it fair and open.

Andrew, your letter was entirely appropriate and has brought a response form this less than professional company who, with the help of this council, has tried and continues to try and bamboozle residents on both sides of the Medina.

Any meeting should be in public for all the reasons you give in your letter. Anything else would be diluting the very reason you had to resort to writing publicly to them.

Clearly they were led to believe that you and your opinions were irrelevant. There are many peoples lives that will be blighted by the siting of this plant on the Medina, to say nothing of falling property prices, congestion, environmental issues, accidents, etc.

Don't do it. Anything they have to say needs to be in public. No secret deals - no secret explanations thank you very much. Remember this is a firm happy to take taxpayers money for 25 years and have investors in a tax haven.

Oh dear :-(

In secret Mr Wardrop?

Something to hide?

Hoping to pull the wool over the MP's eyes?

Mr Wardrop, we didn't come down with the last shower of rain.

Mr Turner, please inform Mr Wardrop that as the concerns have been made by the public, then the answer should be made to the public.
