LOCAL   PLANNING



LOCAL   PLANNING

I would like to draw our Members attention to  a potentially very dangerous Planning Application which has been submitted for a  Battery Energy Storage System ( BESS)  near Coldharbour Chickerell. The Application   P/FUL/2023/02446  will affect not just the Wey Valley Catchment, but also  any part of the local area depending on the strength and direction of the wind.

Quite simply, such BESS facilities in California, Australia and indeed Liverpool have  burst in flames following Thermal Runaway. The fires are extremely difficult to extinguish and spread toxic chemicals including Hydorflauric acid which is capable of corroding concrete . . .

WEY VALLEY LITTER PICK



WEY  VALLEY  LITTER  PICK

There will be a  Litter pick up in the north Wey Valley to be organised by the Upwey Society on Saturday  17th June.

The plan is to meet at the Royal Standard pub, Dorchester road  at 10 am for a briefing.  All equipment will be provided, walking boots and garden gloves or equivalent are recommended.  Tea and Coffee will be provided afterwards.
This was a very successful  event earlier in the year so it is hoped that RWS  Members  will again participate.

Regards
Bob T
