This is a big issue that nearly slipped under the radar … radioactive waste and other nasties!
It threatens the water aquifer and chalk springs to the South – Arundel (Swanbourne lake area) and Chichester gravel beds, AND to the North – springs in Cocking etc.
We need our chalk aquifer uncontaminated!
Consider to the danger of the tankers used to transport in this highly toxic liquid from unspecified locations.
