Plans to turn a Southampton house, far left, back into a nursery have been submitted to the city council. PLANS have been unveiled to turn a Southampton house back into a nursery for up to 50 children. The property at Shaftesbury Avenue, Southampton, was used as a nursery until 2017 and is currently a House of Multiple Occupation (HMO). If the scheme is given the go-ahead the nursery will be run by the previous occupant, Tiny Stars Nurseries. The application says: Southampton City Council receives funding to provide 15 hours a week of free childcare for disadvantaged two-year-olds. The site is located within an area with significant numbers of eligible families and has subsequently seen a rise in demand for places at other providers.
NOIDA: With a spurt in post-lockdown construction activity since October, the daily disposal of construction and demolition (C&D) waste in Noida has nearly doubled now.
A waste processing plant in Sector 80, which had signed up for processing only 300 tonnes per day, is now treating double its daily capacity, officials said. Moreover, the good news is that the city has been able to recycle its ‘legacy waste’.
The C&D plant is being operated by Ramky Reclamation and Recycling Ltd on a public-private-partnership model on a five-acre plot of the Noida Authority land. The initial agreement with the Authority is for 15 years. The Authority has agreed to pay a total of Rs 495 for each tonne of processed waste to Ramky. While Rs 347 will be paid as transportation cost, Rs 148 per tonne will be paid as processing fees to the agency.
The situation in Amberley has been murky for years, with breached court enforcements and bankruptcies adding to the confusion, and even last year ECan was unclear about who officially owned the tyres. The man who leased the Racecourse Rd yard where the fire happened, Michael Le Roy, started storing end-of-life tyres on the property in February 2016.

Tyres are only deemed an environmental concern once they are on fire and leak contaminants into surface or groundwater. He was collecting them for two companies he was linked to: Tyre Recycling Services New Zealand Ltd and 2016 Tyre Shredding Ltd. Just a month earlier, in January 2016, the High Court had granted an injunction preventing Le Roy and his linked companies from having anything to do with tyre recycling or tyre collections for three years.
