1 Hasn't Teesside been sold short? @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#toxictees #saveoursea #pausethedredge @defragovuk @benhouchen @rishisunak pic.twitter.com/2MZwK2Dj8l</p>— Simon R Gibbon (@simonrg) January 27, 2023</blockquote> <script async src=“https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js” charset=“utf-8|</script>

2The Avenue site highly contaminated just like @TeesworksUK, but a tenth the size and @TeesworksUK only appears to have double the money. @TeesworksUK given impossible task, surely something had to give? Why not redevelop 20% of site as that was all the money @RishiSunak gave? pic.twitter.com/uUc1LyuNIj</p>— Simon R Gibbon (@simonrg) January 27, 2023</blockquote> <script async src=“https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js” charset=“utf-8|</script>

3https://t.co/e6pHn9J0Eu promises to "Deliver redevelopment in a way that reduces pollution, contributes to habitat protection and long term sustainability, and that encourages bio-diversity." Avenue delivered, but @TeesworksUK cheaply and quickly?????https://t.co/BlIMIx8d56</p>— Simon R Gibbon (@simonrg) January 27, 2023</blockquote> <script async src=“https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js” charset=“utf-8|</script>

4<br>Why environment so high?<br>That's what the people asked for, so @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. pic.twitter.com/CwYLskUWZT</p>— Simon R Gibbon (@simonrg) January 27, 2023</blockquote> <script async src=“https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js” charset=“utf-8|</script>

5 The Avenue remediated! @TeesworksUK remediate no, just redevelop? Avenue contamination gone, @TeesworksUK contamination under layer of soil. @TeesworksUK one big landfill, a problem for the future?#toxictees #saveoursea #pausethedredge @defragovuk @benhouchen @rishisunak pic.twitter.com/CpNZtiSXpD</p>— Simon R Gibbon (@simonrg) January 27, 2023</blockquote> <script async src=“https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js” charset=“utf-8|</script>

6 @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. https://t.co/6hpg5anBFz pic.twitter.com/LNi3xobdfM</p>— Simon R Gibbon (@simonrg) January 27, 2023</blockquote> <script async src=“https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js” charset=“utf-8|</script>

7 @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! pic.twitter.com/tXWdVbq7xy</p>— Simon R Gibbon (@simonrg) January 27, 2023</blockquote> <script async src=“https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js” charset=“utf-8|</script>

8 @TeesworksUK how isn't this cheap? While the Masterplan stressed heritage and nature, the planning applications have removed nature and @TeeworksUK has blown up the heritage, fewest jobs method of demolition too.https://t.co/1rHBAJ5Too</p>— Simon R Gibbon (@simonrg) January 27, 2023</blockquote> <script async src=“https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js” charset=“utf-8|</script>

9 @TeesworksUK how isn't this poor practise and environmentally damaging?<br>Image from MLA-2020-506 - Vibrating in oily ground is going to disperse oil phase into the river - so why aren't you doing this behind a cofferdam?<br>Is cost more important than the River Tees / North Sea? pic.twitter.com/pFDKQncu1L</p>— Simon R Gibbon (@simonrg) January 27, 2023</blockquote> <script async src=“https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js” charset=“utf-8|</script>

10 @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? Don't these create pathways for environmental damage that just aren't taken into account? pic.twitter.com/cOUdDqt6rd</p>— Simon R Gibbon (@simonrg) January 27, 2023</blockquote> <script async src=“https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js” charset=“utf-8|</script>

11 @TeesworksUK advertised as most contaminated brownfield site in UK.<br>But according to the conceptual site model it presents virtually no risks to the natural environment.<br>Not surprising if risks ruled out by assumptions, acquifer is brackish, nothing gets in the river, … pic.twitter.com/pBxQhPmruW</p>— Simon R Gibbon (@simonrg) January 27, 2023</blockquote> <script async src=“https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js” charset=“utf-8|</script>

12 Having read 1000's of pages of planning application documents there are systematic failings in the approach taken, water courses don't connect, despite historical use clean samples meant everything ok - so please sign https://t.co/o7YyYB3XpE#toxictees #pausethedredge</p>— Simon R Gibbon (@simonrg) January 27, 2023</blockquote> <script async src=“https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js” charset=“utf-8|</script>
