The ash that was destined for Thrupp Lake will now go to the WRG landfill site at Sutton Courtenay, which is right next to the Power Station, where it will be used sustainably for engineering purposes in connection with landfill operations. The transportation of the ash will not use public roads and there should be no adverse impact at all for local residents. Surplus ash will be stored at Sutton Courtenay for use after the power station closes, which will be by the end of 2015. This will save the importation of around half a million tonnes of material to the site, most probably by road, in the future - a significant beneficial outcome for Sutton Courtenay too.

The Town Green Judicial Review is now withdrawn from the Court process and our legal bills have been paid.     We are in discussions with Northmoor Trust as to how we can be of assistance in their vision for the future of Sandles and Thrupp Lake. 

They have started clearance workon the site with assistance from local people and SRL Members.  A series of working parties are planned prior to major project works later on. 

In the meantime, Save Radley Lakes are facing other, relatively minor, threats to the area: a CLEUD by Tuckwells and the possibility of further gravel extraction.  Oxfordshire County Council have refused to grant the CLEUD and further developments are awaited..
