Dear Sandwell Borough Council,
I am requesting information concerning the former Albright and
Wilson waste disposal site known as The Gower Tip, Tividale. As the
former waste regulatory authority I trust that you may hold this
information, rather than referring me to the Environment Agency. My
Freedom of information request is as follows
1 Can you provide me with a map of the location of this site?
2. A copy of the full waste disposal license and the consents to
dispose of waste on the site, and what this waste was and the
allowed quantities.
3. The known periods when waste tipping occured at the site and
when the site was considered "closed".
4. Confirmation that the site is designated as "contaminated land"
and the reasons for this decision?
4. How the site was remediated, if at all?
Yours faithfully,
Mr Carroll

P Save Paper - Do you really need to print this email?
From: Mr Carroll
29 July 2010
Dear Angela Goddard,
Ref Gower Tip waste disposal history.
Thankyou for supplying me with the map of the site and information
related to the above subject. Could I ask however, in your e mail
reply you have refered to site license "SL54"
"I can confirm that the Council does not hold a copy of the waste
disposal licence SL54. And I can confirm that the Council has not
inspected the site under the Environmental Protection Act 1990,
made a determination of contaminated land or served remediation
notice."
Could I ask if you have not got a copy of the waste disposal
license then how are you able to quote the waste disposal license
number, which according to my information is not the site license
number for this site in any case?
Given that there is no longer a waste disposal license in operation
why have the council not made a determination under part 2(a) of
the EPA 1990?
Yours sincerely,
Mr Carroll
