HyNet Carbon Dioxide Pipeline

I am concerned that they has been a lack of willing and meaningful engagement from the scheme in relation to the positioning of a large construction compound on the land. Furthermore, following poor performance from contractors acting for the HyNet CO2 Pipeline in relation to the Ground Investigation works, the reinstatement of the land was unsatisfactory with the high quality top soil being buried and subsoil left on the surface. This land is of high agricultural value and is used for the growing of high value root crops such as carrots and potatoes and fresh produce including brassicas and salads. I am seriously concerned that the works will irreparable damage the soil structure, reducing its ability to be used for growing high value crops and increase the risk of the land becoming waterlogged.
