   Having read the article entitled “Shut it down – waste blaze sparks anger” (Journal, May 9), I was appalled by the comments in it. I think it is disgusting that Coun Lynden Stowe should compare the recent fire at Sims Metals with the disaster at Bhopal.

The Environment Agency, environmental health and, indeed, our district councillor Alastair Adams did not help us at all.
