Press release Oosterweel DIY

Earlier today, BAM/Lantis announced that the Oosterweel works will resume soon, and that only limited adjustments will be made. The coalition of Greenpeace, Grondrecht and Thomas Goorden reacted with disappointment. “We are not opposed to the Oosterweel project, but we want the PFOS pollution on the site to be taken seriously. That requires a plan for the remediation of the region. When will we finally start working on a real solution for the pollution in our backyard?”

Press release Council of State ruling

Earlier today, the Council of State suspended the declaration of conformity of the Technical Report for the Oosterweel works on the Left Bank. In its ruling following a UDN claim filed by Grondrecht, Greenpeace and Thomas Goorden, the Council states that provisions of the VLAREBO may have been violated. During the hearing, the auditor was also very critical of the construction of a berm with the most heavily polluted soils on the 3M site.

Press release judgment on environmental injunction

environmental injunction brought by Grondrecht, Greenpeace and Thomas Goorden against the risks of further spreading of PFOS pollution by the Oosterweel works. The fact that the case was declared admissible is a first step towards a healthy living and residential environment. "This strengthens our confidence that the judge will also rule in our favour on the merits." At the same time, the parties are moving up a gear and are contesting the new Technical Report on the so-called compliance with the recommendations of the Earthmoving Commission.

HEAL & Fundamental Rights: letter to the federal government

Dear Mayor,
Dear members of the city council,
Dear members of the municipal council,
We are writing this letter to you on behalf of an ever-growing group of concerned residents of Antwerp, the beautiful city that we have entrusted to you with complete confidence. We are writing to you because we are concerned about the pollution of our city with PFOS and the consequences for the health of all Antwerp residents. But we are writing to you mainly because we have the impression that at 't Schoon Verdiep, in contrast to outside, there is still no sense of urgency about this problem. Seen from the left bank, it remains quiet on the other side, and so we feel abandoned.
