Parishes warned: You could be next

TRINITY residents have warned all Islanders to watch out for a landfill site on their own doorsteps.

The Canavan inquiry into Charles Gallichan’s controversial scheme to level fields and build a reservoir closed yesterday with the evidence of the residents who are campaigning for the planning approval to be revoked.

They are adamant that the project is a lucrative ‘builder’s tip’ rather than an agricultural improvement scheme.

Their spokesman, retired Major-General Bill Cornock, said: ‘Today it is Trinity – which parish will be next to be confronted with the same sort of thing either openly or by stealth?’ Mr Cornock said that the residents only found out about the scale of the scheme in March or early April because they had missed the applications when they had been published in the JEP last year.
