Just incase any of you feel impelled to write to the person who could have done something to prevent this waste been illegally dumped in your naibourhood, the details are:-

Judge Brain, Manchester Employment Tribunal Alexandra House 14 - 22 Parsonage, Manchester, M3 2JA

12th January 2011, Judge Brain, heard the case of a driver who refused to collect hazardous waste without a licence and without permits and in return blakeleys waste management increased her workload, when she complaind about that they made unlawful deductions of wages and refused her holidays entitlement.

Judge Brain ruled that it was entirly proper conduct for Blakeleys waste management to instruct the driver to collect the waste and despose of it at the recycling plant without a licence and without permits, but they should have provided her with protective clothing. The judge ruled the workload hadn't been increased, becasue the driving undertaken by a truck driver isn't part of the workload, because blakeleys says it's not. The judge did agree that it was unlawful deduction of wages and they should have provided statutory holidays. But because the driver couldn't agree to carry on collecting and disposing waste illegally and drive illegally by discarding driving as part of the workload, then she could be dismissed.

The judge was warned that Blakley's have no respect for the law and his judgment would only make a bad situation worse, as no driver can refuse to collect and dispose of waste illegally and given that disposeing of waste illegally has serious health implications for the general public, it is a disaster waiting to happen. Baring in mind the waste in question was collected from a chemical plant, but other clients of Blakeley's waste management includes hospitals, carbody shops etc, all the waste is dropped off in a big warehouse and mixed together before seperated into recycling and none recyclable. So any contaminates that are dropped of have plenty of opportunity to cross contaminate all waste, be it for recycling or not.

But because I have CFS/ME and taking court action only made my symptoms worse, the judge ruled the conduct of Blakeleys waste management is irrelivant, as i could be dismissed for been ill. So Judge Brain refused to reveiw his decission. So I think you writting to Judge Brain and letting him know that he could have prevented this from happening, might help him to understand the importance of his job and how if he doesn't do his job properly it does have serious consiquences on other people.

I took court action to blow the whistle on Blakeleys waste management, to prevent them from causing serious harm to the general public, in doing so I put myself in a wheelchair because I used for more energy that what my body produced. In return Judge Brain found it to be entirly proper conduct for Blakeleys to instruct drivers to collect and dispose of waste without a licence and without permits. So maybe it would be a good idea for people in Oswaldtwistle to let Judge Brain know the consiqunences his judgment.

Sadley a lot of people only learn from mistakes made if they realise they have made a mistake. Unfortunatly it takes people who have suffered the consiquences to point out the mistakes made, before any lessons are learned and history is not repeated.
