David Burrowes MP is holding a public meeting about Pinkham Wood on 17 June, 7.00pm, at Broomfield School.
"The current work on improvements to the A406 and New Southgate area will mean that some of the most neglected parts of my constituency can look forward to being the most regenerated. However, the plans to build Britain's biggest waste management site at Pinkham Way threatens this optimistic outlook.
"The prospect of hundreds of waste trucks delivering North London's waste to the doorstep of this area is of great concern. For too long, the N11 part of my constituency has been the victim of being at the back-end of three boroughs. The proposal for the waste facility takes advantage of this location, with a site in "no mans land", where planning responsibility and land ownership is divided. The scale of the Pinkham Way waste facility will take us in the wrong direction at the wrong time.
"We have all fought too long and too hard for the improvements to the North Circular Road and New Southgate, only to see the area dumped upon. I am pleased that other politicians like Andy Hemsted (your local GLA candidate), Lynne Featherstone MP and Theresa Villiers MP are also opposing the plans.
"Please support my Enfield campaign to say 'NO to Pinkham Way' by:
- Supporting my campaign on the Digital Democracy Website
- Attending the public meeting at 7:00pm on Friday 17th June taking place at Broomfield School
- Signing the online petition."

For every lorry mentioned, multiply that by two - every lorry that goes into the plant will also come out - 500 lorries in really means 1000 lorry trips. Barnet are not only planning to move their refuse depot onto this site but also their transport vehicles - plus we need to count all the staff vehicles. What goes in must come out, double the numbers every time to get a true picture of traffic impact
