“If we don’t want this, we have to fight.”
Those were the concluding remarks of Moss Vale resident Sam Jones at the end of the community engagement meeting for the proposed Plasrefine facility.
Mr Jones was one of the 200-strong crowd of residents in attendance at the meeting hosted by GHD on behalf of Plasrefine on Thursday, November 18.
“We have to fight, we don’t want this. We need to be prepared to step up as residents,” he said.
“I don’t want this in my backyard, near my children.”
Mr Jones, a school teacher, later told the Southern Highland News that he was a passionate local against the proposal who went to the meeting “to listen respectfully.”
“I’ve been here all my life,” he said.
“This kind of development is completely inappropriate and should be in an industrial zone.”
