Just wanted to tip people off that DLR council are handing over all out standing waste collection accounts to debt collectors. The council have come under pressure from those campaigning against car clamping and as result it has emerged that the council has never attempted to collect any outstanding debts. Householders are sent out several bills each year for their waste collection with many realising that no attempt has ever been made to collect these monies resulting in most householders getting a free collection for years yet the council continues to bemoan the fact that funds are low. It has been reported locally that the service will be privatised and no doubt they want to collect would could be as much as 7 million before going private. Debt collectors using heavy handed tactics is certainly not the way forward. It was also decided not to announce this until after the election. ... read full story / add a comment

Anti-nuclear activists have been demonstrating outside and inside the annual meeting of stockholders of one of Germany’s electricity giants, the transnational EON. A coalition of environmental groups protested in Essen against EON’s plans to expand nuclear power production. Some of the countries where EON is planning new nukes are Finland, Great Britain, Slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria. In Russia the infamous trinational Urenco uranium enrichment company, partly owned by EON, has dumped some 80,000 tonnes of depleted Urenco uranium as waste. ... read full story / add a comment

While others canvass to gain entry to the Rich Man's Palace, there were others that remembered that every May the 1st is the day to remember workers' and working-class communities' struggles across the world and throughout history. The electoral Left can go play with Bertie, Inda, Pat, and Trevor 'the sustainable capitalist'. The rest of us will make do with a small, yet determined and vibrant parade this Tuesday evening, starting shortly after seven at Connolly Hall (the most pointless building in the city, methinks) and finishing with speeches at Daunt Square. This was followed by by music from Intinn and DJs, which was still going when I left at 11. ... read full story / add a comment

The Campaign to Save Tara is jubilant at today’s announcement that construction is to be stopped on the proposed route of the M3 through the Tara/Skreen Valley. Under the National Monuments Act the archaeologists contracted by the NRA were forced to declare a likely National Monument has been discovered. It had been the Save Tara Campaign that first alerted the National Museum to the potential significance of the Liamullen site, which is within 100mts of the Rath Lugh monument, and directly within the path of the proposed motorway. It is known that the Museum immediately contacted the NRA seeking information on the find. The Lismullen site had not been accurately identified during the initial archaeological survey of the route and the discovery of a henge almost 80mts in diameter and comprising of three concentric circles caused surprise to the archaeological contractor and near- apoplexy at the National Roads Authority. ... read full story / add a comment |
