Flood Barrier Overgrown Shrubbery.

Diane Charlton made this Freedom of Information request to Environment Agency

The request was successful.

From: Diane Charlton

20 June 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

We have been informed in writing by Rayden Engineering Ltd,
Wentworth Street, Ilkeston Junction, Derbyshire, DE7 5TF, that
Rayden has not been responsible for several nuisance episodes of
day time black smoke, but the Environment Agency has been
responsible through "burning overgrown shrubbery from the flood
barrier" to the West of the Rayden Engineering Ltd premises.

I would be grateful if you could clarify whether:

1: The Environment Agency do in fact burn overgrown vegetation on
the clearance site.
2: If the Environment Agency has burnt any cleared vegetation at
all to the West of Ilkeston Junction and if so the dates.
3: And if not how the Environment Agency actually disposes of
cleared vegetation.

Thank you in anticipation of your reply to this rather strange
request.

Yours faithfully,

Diane Charlton
