: it is not a waste dump, it is a facility for

: none of the waste is to be left in or on the
: docks if it has not been screened.
: misinformation
:
: It is a waste processing area, which means
: mounds of unsightly waste are permanently
: there creating dust which affects the
: breathing of the people living adjacent.
: These people have been treated with open
: contempt by the city and the contractor.
:
: The residents are objecting, and I hope
: everyone reading this does - see the Canal
: Link page. The city should get on with the
: job of excavating Trafalgar Dock to deep
: water again to accommodate the historic
: ships and developing the Central Docks area,
: not using it as a temporary waste dump.
:
: It is embarrassing that the city can't find
: deep water berths for these ships because
: they have foolishly allowed docks near the
: centre, Princes, Princes Half-Tide and West
: Waterloo Docks to be used as waste dumps
: reducing the depth to one to two metres.
: Glorified canal boat ways.

: HMS Plymouth looks like its is going to
: Plymouth and a German businessman is looking
: into buying the U-Boat and taking it back to
: Germany. Yes, in the city that controlled
: the U-Boat battle, the Battle of the
: Atlantic.
:
: Shameful!!
:
: And that is not misinformation.
:hms plymouth going to plymouth, well i would imagine that is where a ship of that name would be AT HOME, is this u-boat you refer to a german u-boat by any chance? and it is going to GERMANY.
as for residents and the air they breath,it may have slipped past your selective mind that the docklands and the surrounding area,s have suffered poor air qaulity since the shipping trade began.
it was a heavily industrialised area before the apartment dwellers and buy to let investors came along in the hope that a particular piece of dockland they invested in would bring huge profits.
i am all in favour of private investors bringing in the money to speculate on the waterfront but some schemes will reap more than others, if some think they have not invested wisely and dont like what is going on around them they should shut up, sell up and find something else to occupy themselves.
good luck with the new canal link, its looking good
