Dear Chadwell Primary Parents

Requesting your Governing Body write to Michael Gove MP to call in the Tesco Toxic Towers

This development has recently been passed by Sadiq Khan. I request your governing body write to Mr Gove, the Secretary of State for housing, who has the power to stop this development for the following reasons:

BHRUT, the local NHS trust, has supplied child death and illness statistics for their catchment period over a two year period which are at the above site. The postcode RM6 has four child deaths linked to air pollution for the period. This is a disproportionate number of the total 38 deaths. RM6 also has a disproportionate number of child hospital admissions linked to air pollution.

There is a sharp drop in both deaths and hospital admissions in the year following lockdown. Neither Sadiq Khan nor Redbridge Council sought out the exact postcodes (BHRUT will not publish give me the exact postcodes) to determine the real health risks to the proposed residents of the 1280 homes on the site. The Mayor used modelling and air quality measurements instead of real deaths and hospital admissions when passing the Tesco Development.

Correlation is not causation but the statistics at the above blog deserve further work. For these reasons I suggest your governing body write to Mr Gove requesting he call in the Tesco development and carry out an investigation into the real risks of building at the Tesco site to your children. This is because should the Towers go ahead there will be significant numbers of polluting HGVs along with construction dust which seem bound to put your child’s health at risk.

Other significant developments are planned at Homebase, the White Horse and Seven Kings Car Park which also make pollution worse. The links below on the blog will provide the death and admission statistics.
