MP Supports Hythe End Residents
16-Mar-06, Press Release.

Adam Afriyie MP has received a reply from the British Aviation Authority regarding the concrete crushing plant at Hythe End Road. Mr Afriyie had written to BAA on behalf of local residents who had complained about the noise, pollution, and traffic problems caused by the plant.

BAA have confirmed that their long term aim is to move the crusher, which is used to crush concrete waste from Heathrow, to an area where it will not impact upon residents’ quality of life. In the meantime, they are taking steps to mitigate the effects of the crusher in terms of road safety, noise and mud on local roads.

Mr Afriyie commented:
“I am delighted that BAA are taking steps to move the concrete crusher away from residents’ homes.

“It seems absurd that concrete was being moved away from the Heathrow site to a residential area to undergo a noisy crushing process.

“I do hope that BAA will step up their efforts in the short term so that residents will not have to put up with the dirt, noise and vibration from the plant much longer.”
