Dear Friends,
Landfill: A Toxic Ticking Timebomb http://www.talkfracking.org/slider-3/landfill-a-toxic-ticking-timebomb/ via @talkfracking 
This article has come to our attention. Excellent work and great to have others standing up for Zane in a world where you can feel so alone when fighting for truth and justice. 
"Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are" 
Thank you all for your continued support. It will be 4 years on the 8th February since Zane was killed and the family will be holding a memorial to remember their precious and much loved little boy, Zane. Please let us know if you would like to join us.
Best wishes

You can’t claim to care about the environment, care about the next generation and then let chemical contamination pollute our homes and kill our children.

The UK government have today set out their 25 year Environmental Plan in which they confirm that they have a role in protecting and improving the environment both at home and abroad. Despite the Tories’ promise to be the “greenest government ever”, we’ve had seven years of failure, one precious child’s death and four years of fighting for a truthful and transparent investigation into the death of Zane Gbangbola during the 2014 floods when groundwater from historic landfill rose inside his Surrey home during the night. Hydrogen Cyanide was detected and Zane was killed, his father paralysed.
 
Theresa May defends her government saying they are serious about improving the environment. The plan spans 151 pages and pledges to “show leadership on conservation, climate change, land use, sustainable global food supplies and marine health.
 
“A Green Future: Our 25 Year Plan to Improve the Environment” sets out how over the next quarter of a century the government will achieve:
  1. Clean air.
  2. Clean and plentiful water.
  3. Thriving plants and wildlife.
   4.   A reduced risk of harm from environmental hazards such as flooding and drought.
          Chapter 4: Increasing resources efficiency and reducing pollution and waste
          2. iii Publishing a Chemicals Strategy
          2.iv Minimising the risk of chemical contamination in our water. …. Chemicals get into our water      
          via a wide range of sources, including water treatment plants, use of agricultural pesticides,
         abandoned infrastructure such as mines, atmospheric deposition and road runoff. We want to
         tackle risks from chemical contaminants in English waters, including groundwater, and make sure
         that levels of contaminants entering fresh water bodies (which may be transported to coats and
         seas) neither increase nor give rise to pollution. . . As well as source control mechanisms actions
         to manage prioritised substances will range from environmental interventions around pathways-to-  
         the-water environment; point source controls; and taking no further action where controls already
         exist that can address concerns.

    5. Using resources from nature more sustainably and efficiently.
    6. Enhanced beauty, heritage and engagement with the natural environment. 

“In addition, we will manage pressures on the environment by:
     7. Mitigating and adapting to climate change.
     8. Minimising waste.
     9. Managing exposure to chemicals.
         Chapter 6: Protecting and improving our global environment
         3.ii Protecting and managing risk from hazards – We will develop methods to identify substances
         of concern; our aim is to substantially reduce deaths and ill-health arising from hazardous
         chemicals and waste

      10. Enhancing biosecurity. 

Tackling a Green Brexit and housing, the plan promises to:
- deliver a Green Brexit by consulting on a new environmental watchdog to hold government to account for environmental standards, and setting out a new approach to agriculture and fisheries management
 
- seek to embed a ‘net environmental gain’ principle so development delivers environmental improvements locally and nationally, enabling housing development without increasing overall burdens on developers.
 
The plan is vague on how the goals will be measured and enforced, saying ministers will consult on a new independent body to hold the government to account. It has been met with some caution by environmental groups such as WWF and Greenpeace, and criticised by Labour and The Green Party.
 
May was Home Secretary during the floods of 2014 at the time of Zane’s death and the emergency COBRA meetings, and one of her first acts as prime minister was to write to us, Zane’s parents, to refuse to meet with us regarding our son’s death.
 
Will the government put its words of environmental protection being at the heart of the strategy into action where it counts, and deliver the social justice they promise?  
 
If Teresa May wants to persuade people this is more than green washing and government spin, she needs to immediately grant an independent panel inquiry into the death of 7 year old Zane. You can’t claim to care about the environment, care about the next generation and then let chemical contamination pollute our homes and kill our children.
