Deputation Opposes Nearby Works Claringdon Estate Fumes Arsenic
A motion urged Mr Dr Rolinson to back a strong deputation of residents on the Claren don estate against emerging works near homes. Speakers warned fumes could injure health and contaminate water, citing arsenic on house tops and tarnished silverware in Spotswood. Council may face a trade-application if rejected, with critics calling the plan a sham and urging protection of home-building aims.
