Tesco Toxic Towers Monitoring Mystery

The below is an extract from an email I got from Redbridge Council yesterday


"We asked the developer to conduct a six month diffusion survey to establish what the NO2 baseline levels were in the proposed area of development to establish what future occupants would be exposed to. The Defra background maps indicated that the NO2 levels in the development area were below the AQ objectives. Similarly the diffusion tube survey results indicated the same. We did not require the developer to monitor for NO2 concentrations outside Chadwell Heath primary school as it is not in close enough proximity to the development area, however monitoring was undertaken around the following schools which are within 350 meters of the development site:

  • Barley Lane Primary School
  • Barely Lane Montessori Day Nursery
  • Goodmayes Primary School
  • Mayfield School

I apologies for any confusion in my original response as I included specific reference to Chadwell Heath Primary school and it should have read Schools in close proximity." ENDs

But as yet, Redbridge have not published the monitoring surveyor why Eastcourt was not monitored too.

& why has it taken months for the Council to disclose monitoring has taken place around these four school schools
