Haringey Liberal Democrats, led by Lynne Featherstone MP, this morning registered their interest to speak in the Public Inquiry into the planning application by London Concrete.
Lynne Featherstone MP was joined this morning by Lib Dem Councillor for Stroud Green, Laura Edge, Lib Dem Focus Editor for Stroud Green Ed Butcher and Lib Dem Focus Editor for Harringay, David Schmitz.
Lynne Featherstone MP and Stroud Green Councillor Laura Edge have campaigned against the Concrete factory plans since the initial application back in 2004 when they both expressed their renewed concerns over plans to build a concrete factory in the residential area surrounding Cranford Way, N8.
Laura Edge said:
"Under the current proposals we would see an additional 56 lorry movements a day, including three to four cement tankers, which are essentially the same size as petrol tankers. Each one of these lorries will be forced to take a left turn onto Tottenham Lane owing to the one-way system and from there either continue down Tottenham Lane or turn sharp right into Church Lane."
Lynne Featherstone MP added:
"We have fought this application since day one with local residents group GreenN8, and will continue to do so.
"I hope I get the opportunity to speak so I can speak on behalf of the voters of Hornsey and Wood Green.
"I also want to ensure the Planning Inspectorate allows some time in an evening or at the weekend for those people who work during the day to have their voice heard."
