AFTER all the emotive binding about health risks that's gone on for years in the Ribble Valley over Castle Cement burning controversial chemical-waste based Cemfuel at its Clitheroe plant, wasn't it revealing that just 20 people turned up at two public consultation sessions in the town over the Environment Agency recommendations to allow the firm to burn the stuff again?
Ignorance and apathy? I don't know.
But if, like me, Ribble Valley folk have grown fed up of the green grousers going on and on, then perhaps it's time that Cemfuel campaigners realised they are a clear minority.
And that this manifest public snub is a smoke signal telling them to pipe down.
