1 Hasn't Teesside been sold short? [[https://twitter.com/TeesworksUK?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw|@TeesworksUK]] being done too cheaply, too quickly, too carelessly when compared to "one of the most ambitious and effective remediation projects"[[https://t.co/n6spHURJnZ|https://t.co/n6spHURJnZ]][[https://twitter.com/hashtag/toxictees?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw|#toxictees]] [[https://twitter.com/hashtag/saveoursea?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw|#saveoursea]] [[https://twitter.com/hashtag/pausethedredge?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw|#pausethedredge]] [[https://twitter.com/DefraGovUK?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw|@defragovuk]] [[https://twitter.com/BenHouchen?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw|@benhouchen]] [[https://twitter.com/RishiSunak?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw|@rishisunak]] [[https://t.co/2MZwK2Dj8l|pic.twitter.com/2MZwK2Dj8l]]</p>— Simon R Gibbon (@simonrg) [[https://twitter.com/simonrg/status/1618777532748431360?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw|January 27, 2023]]</blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8|</script>

2The Avenue site highly contaminated just like [[https://twitter.com/TeesworksUK?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw|@TeesworksUK]], but a tenth the size and [[https://twitter.com/TeesworksUK?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw|@TeesworksUK]] only appears to have double the money. [[https://twitter.com/TeesworksUK?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw|@TeesworksUK]] given impossible task, surely something had to give? Why not redevelop 20% of site as that was all the money [[https://twitter.com/RishiSunak?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw|@RishiSunak]] gave?

4<br>Why environment so high?<br>That's what the people asked for, so [[https://twitter.com/TeesworksUK?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw|@TeesworksUK]] promised jobs, environment and heritage.<br>Heritage blown up too expensive, so is it any wonder "activists" are upset if environment is sacrificed.<br>Nobody signed up to jobs, no heritage and no environment.

6 [[https://twitter.com/TeesworksUK?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw|@TeesworksUK]] isn't this just cheap and dangerous? Dumping at 100,000s m3 of land at sea. Excavating requires soil to be tested before reuse, dredging doesn't require further testing before dumping.

7 [[https://twitter.com/TeesworksUK?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw|@TeesworksUK]] how isn't this poor practice? It is known that the site contains non-aqueous phase liquids - hydrocarbons, on land these have to be treated, in the river it looks like they are just allowed to float away. This could be easily stopped with a boom - good practice!

10 [[https://twitter.com/TeesworksUK?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw|@TeesworksUK]] I can't see where your conceptual site model for safety considers digging away at the riverbank as you are doing now or demolishing by explosion?
