Noise Pollution Control in London
Residents in three north London boroughs have joined forces to fight plans to build the largest waste processing center in the UK. Residents of Barnet, Haringey and Enfield say that they have not been properly consulted about the plant, and they have raised concerns over noise pollution control and health effects.
About 150 residents protested outside of the Town Hall in Barnet as councilors met to discuss wider plans for dealing with waste in north London. The residents say they are determined to stop the plan in its tracks. A spokesman for the council said that the environmental impact of the proposal would be considered by planning officers, and that the proposed facility would consist of a 23 meter high building covering an area the size of two football pitches.
