Balcombe Refusal highlights Angus flaws12 Mar 2021 12:44
The latest Twitter post on #angs is rather telling, just as how Angus did not keep their promises to the residents of Balcombe.
It is truly shocking to see a company not aware that the field they want to produce from has Sulphur Dioxide.
“When questioned at the liaison committee meeting about the possibility of sulphur dioxide in the flare, it seems none of the Angus energy employees in the room were aware that there would be any. Clearly they had not read the 1986 drilling reports made when Conoco drilled the first well at the site. These drilling reports indicate the presence of sulphur in the well.”
The "Traffic Chaos' section of the page goes into great detail on how inept Angus ran their operations.
“Promises to the school have already been broken. During initial visits, the company suggested that most of the traffic would pass the school outside school hours and that which didn't would be preceded by a phone call. This phone call system lasted only two days.”
“Traffic arrivals have been farcical. Despite traffic being a crucial issue at planning stage, Angus employees and managing director Paul Vonk were unaware of the traffic movement schedule laid out on the West Sussex County Council (WSCC) website. Residents monitored traffic coming through the village on just one day last week, which included some triple-axled articulated lorries and some idling outside the school while waiting to go down the bottle neck in the village towards the site. One lorry in particular went through the village six times.
It seems that Angus completely failed to signpost the site. Many lorries, therefore could not find it. At least one ended up in the small village avenues, and many overshot and went on to Cuckfield, to the south. One was seen to be stuck at the Whitemans Green roundabout for 20 minutes, and another was known to be asking directions. Traffic coming back from the south after getting lost was not allowed into the site, but drove back up through the village to turn at the A23 roundabout and come back down again. At least two lorries did this on the day when residents monitored. Some lorries were being told to go on southward again, seemingly because of space restrictions at the site.”
