Trucks would cause chaos 

REGARDING the plans for the recycling plant in Glenhuntly Rd, Carnegie, traffic and noise are already issues in this area given on-road parking, the trams and a level crossing down the road.

Trucks coming and going will cause further traffic congestion and noise, not to mention the dust and pollution local residents and businesses will have to deal with.

I can only imagine how teachers and parents at Glen Huntly Primary will feel about children walking to and from school in the new ‘‘industrial’’ Carnegie. Hopefully, Glen Eira Council will dismiss this proposal immediately.

Given the application to rezone the area and build residential apartments next door, I wonder how the proposals will affect one another. Who wants to buy an apartment next door to a rubbish factory? 

Axe the plan immediately 

THIS is a ridiculous proposal for the area. The council really needs to stop this without delay.

Imagine the dust and noise 

I HAD the misfortune of walking past this place when they were operating without a permit. They dumped a load of old bricks and the noise and dust was unbelievable.

It’s the wrong place 

I THINK it’s disgraceful in this day and age that they would allow people’s lives to be affected in such a thoughtless way by toxins, fumes and noise. These places belong in outer industrial zones and not in the middle of residential areas near schools, flats, aged people’s homes and so on.

Hand over the permit 

SURELY someone can do something to stop this ridiculous plan. Is this a grab for rates from Glen Eira Council? If the council has no rateable property outside residential areas it should give the planning permit to neighbouring Kingston or Monash, who have plenty of vacant land.
