Dear Editor

 

A recent law has been passed by the European Union, which comes into force in January 2002 in which Fridges and Freezers are classified as having Hazardous waste and as such can no longer be just dumped. They have to be processed by a specialist company which I am informed will cost about £30 a fridge. At present there doesn’t seem to be anyone in the country who can perform this task. Can I ask through your letters page if Swale Borough Council or Kent County Council has any contingency plans? Also will the individual have to pay him or herself? As I fear the countryside will be awash with abandoned fridges and Freezers.

Did you also no that the very popular “Witherspoons Pub chain” is backing the campaign against the Euro.

Did you know if Bin Laden was captured in the UK he would not be allowed to be extradited to the USA because it would be against The European Human Rights Convention as some of the USA states allow capital punishment. The ECHR that this amounted to “torture, inhuman and degrading form of punishment” Tell that to the friends and relatives of the people who died on September 11th
