I am the Contaminated Land Officer at St Albans City and District Council
and also undertaking an MSc in Environmental Change at Brunel University.
For my dissertation and as part of my work under Part IIA of the
Environmental Protection Act I am looking in to the contamination of
allotment gardens.
I have noticed in the press that several Local Authorities have come across
contaminated allotment sites. Could you please let me know if you are
aware of any contaminated allotment sites within your district?
I have attached a questionnaire to this email. I would be grateful if you
could complete this and send it back to me before 1st August 2005. My
contact details are listed below.
