Pensioner cyclist’s clash with motorist led to asthma attack


A PENSIONER was in hospital ’or a week due to an asthma


attack following an incident in which his bicycle was flung into

Castle Cement has resumed burning Cemfuel


CEMFUEL burning was resumed at Castle Cement, Clitheroe, only a few days after all the stocks were removed from the works because of


pipe and tank problems. The company quickly made repairs, agreed new stor­ , .


age and mixing arrangements with the Environment Agency, and was authorised to bring the fuel back. But campaigners are increasingly angry about the


whole issue and are demanding action from the Prime Minister.


One of them, Mr J. D. Mortimer, wrote asking Mr , , .


Blair to ban the use of Cemfuel at the plant, set up a public inquiry into the issue and commission a full risk assessment into the burning of “secondary” waste which he claims is hazardous. On the fire and explosion side, he declares that recent leaks show there is potential danger , of catastrophic proportions.

Mr Mortimer’s previous letter to 10 Downing Street failed to elicit a reply.
