politics before people...

developer before democracy...

wealth before health

'Councillors were told by Michael McGlynn, head of planning for the council, to pass the plans due to the potential creation of 50 jobs, the lack of current recycling facilities in South Lanarkshire, and the lack of objection from bodies such as the Scottish Environment Protection Agency.' - STV

Sickeningly ironic...torched campaign lorry sign at Canderside Toll

Action Group Against Dovesdale Incinerator (AGADI) has been specifically set up to STOP the proposal for a waste incinerator at Dovesdale Farm on the B7078 / Carlisle Road, between Blackwood and Canderside, in South Lanarkshire.

If you are a local resident, have family in the area or once lived locally, are interested in the future of our environment and our longterm health and wellbeing, we would be most greatful if you took some time to contact AGADI and tell us what you think about the proposal and if you would be happy to support our campaign in whatever way you can...

...your assistance will ensure the protection and survival of your local environment from the resulting impacts of such an industry.

We look forward to hearing from you, and many thanks in advance.
