Readers who are interested in the report that NPower sold more ash than they generated in 2006 will be interested to note that the web-page which let out this information has now suddenly become unavailable! 

Meanwhile the Environment Agency have been exhorted to do a remodelling of the flood plain which has the incursion of H/I because, from what has been advised by them, they did not include it because it is a "temporary structure" Notwithstanding the dirty great lump of ash is permanently located next to the River Thames, the EA, in their wisdom, made this decision when doing their flood modelling.  

Oxfordshire County Council have been unable to ignore the complaints about Lakes H and I and are being pressed to investigate the anomalies in the development.  So far the word is that they have admitted that NPower have made an error with the level to which they have filled their ash lagoon but don't know quite what to do about it.  Now if this was someone with a house extension that had been built illegally, you can bet your bottom dollar that they would have issued an enforcement notice by now.  One law for the man in the street and another for Big Business.

John Rainford repeatedly said he needs Thrupp Lake to facilitate his operations at Didcot Power Station "24/7 "  This means they don't have to employ staff to stockpile the ash, they can just dump it to landfill at the turn of a switch!
