Public consultation by renewables company

EGNEDOL, the company behind ambitious and controversial plans it claims will bring hundreds of millions of pounds into Milford Haven’s economy, is to hold a public consultation event in the Murray Suite on Thursday, February 18, between 10:30 and 8:00pm.

Members of the public will have the chance to see plans for Egnedol’s biomass energy plant which the company claims could come into operation as soon as the second quarter of 2017, providing planning permission is approved.

The company is yet to make a planning application or to answer questions put to it by those who went to a presentation by the company made to members of Milford Haven Town Council last month.

Last week, this newspaper put a series of questions to Egnedol and will be publishing the answers we receive – if any – in this Friday’s newspaper.

Well done Dayne Stone for being just the tiniest bit cynical. It’s a good trait to have for a reporter. It’s a shame those at PCC didn’t ask any questions but handed over a huge land asset for peanuts to these people on the vague promise of hundreds of jobs. Keep up the good work Dayne.

About as viable as a chocolate teapot. PCC are just dumb. Just five minutes reading the plans and it’s obvious this is a land grab- sell us the land cheap and we’ll build you this that or the other- then nothing comes of the plans and the site will be sold on for a profit in a few years depriving us of an asset and making an offshore company a massive profit. Private Eye shows the Wards Yard area asbelongoing to an offshore company based in the Cayman Islands. PCC must either be the most stupid or the most corrupt bunch of brown tonguers in Cymru.

I am also cynical so if this sale & plans are approved it should be written into sale contract if not built within certain time frame (about 2 years) it has to be sold back to owners at same price. Questions I asked (1) how long is construction timeframe as there will obviously be noise & dust ? Answer about 12 months. (2) what about odour from cheesemaking? Answer very little as outgoing air going through scrubber filters. (3) How much aviation fuel is going to be produced as much more volatile? Answer about 1 road tanker a week.
The buildings are huge (I think he said they would be 27 metres high) & very high chimney but we have a lot of those anyway.

Forgot to add they are going to burn RDF “Refuse-derived fuel (RDF) or solid recovered fuel / specified recovered fuel (SRF) is a fuel produced by shredding and dehydrating solid waste (MSW) with a Waste converter technology. RDF consists largely of combustible components of municipal waste such as plastics and biodegradable waste.”

In Japan most waste is burned. The plastics in the waste produce dioxins that adversely affect the health of the population.

A HAKIN motorist has been banned from driving for three years after being caught behind the wheel with cocaine and benzoylecgonine in his system.

Mark Briskham, 53, of Waterloo Square, Wellington Road, Hakin, was stopped by police on January 5 as he drove a Ford Kuga along Steynton Road, near Milford Haven.

Blood tests carried out at the police station showed he had 800mcg of benzoylecgonine in his system. The legal limit is 50mcg.

He also had 64mcg of cocaine in his system. The legal limit is 10mcg.

Briskham pleaded guilty to two drug-driving charges when he appeared before Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court this week.

Magistrates disqualified him from driving for three years, taking into account a previous drug-drive conviction from 2020.

He was also fined £120 and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £48 surcharge.cr

A WATERSTON man has appeared before magistrates charged with 13 sexual offences against children, including three allegations of raping a girl under the age of 13.

Chaisee Price, 25, of Biggins Hill, Waterston, Milford Haven, appeared before Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court this week.

He faces three charges of raping a girl under 13, eight charges of sexually assaulting girls aged between five and eight, and two charges of intentionally inciting girls under 13 to engage in sexual activity.

The offences are alleged to have taken place between 2014 and 2019.

Price denied all charges.

Because of the seriousness of the allegations, magistrates declined jurisdiction and the case will now proceed to Swansea Crown Court on July 10.

Price was released on conditional bail.

The conditions include a daily electronically monitored curfew between 6:00pm and 6:00am, no contact with the prosecution witness, no unsupervised contact with children under 18, and a requirement to surrender his passport to police.
