  • "we are a committed band of people who have worked 24 hours a day for the last 7 years to bring to the attention of people worldwide the plight that we are in" <------ what a waste of 7 years haha!!

  • i bet the cement plant was there when all these people bought their houses,they knew it was there before they moved in so STOP FUCKIN MOANING...........

  • Rugby would benefit from a good coating of concrete......

  • god you chat some shit love.

  • You could have a plant burning orphans so long as it gives some loser a job and cash to buy a spoiler for his escort..

  • my god you havent got much else to do have you. these plants have to go somewhere and where ever they go, some, guardian reading, moaning %^*$ has to complain about it. move somewhere else, and no doubt find something else to complain about.

  • I have seen black shit being pumped out into the atmosphere. i was on a business trip from London, sorry but I don't think I will visit again.

  • They seriously dont give a crap about us. It's all about money, who cares if a few townspeople suffer just so long as they can fill their wallets...?

  • SCREW THE CEMENT WORKS, WHENEVER I COME HOME DOWN THE MOTORWAY ALL I CAN SEE IS THAT HEAP OF SHIT IN THE DISTANCE when we get up in the morning there is a layer of dust all over our cars and houses

  • OUT OF TIGRES

    OUT OF UANL

  • I love 2-3 blocks away from that horrible building. I want it gone!

  • Comment removed

  • I think it's about 70 jobs if the plant was relocated from Rugby. But of course more jobs would be created to actually assist the relocation.

  • I know a lot about this particular (hmm) issue, as i have family and friends involved with it in rugby. Nothing that comes out of that place is bad for you, great care was taken with the technologies incorporated in the thing. Stop whining and look at the facts, if you're in to that sort of thing.

  • Hmm....if Lilian can't get the truth out of RBC or the EA, I doubt you're going to tell us.

    All the same, check her blog and get back to us with the information she is continually requesting.

  • why still argue it the fumes may kill but not thousands most people blame cemex but it normally there lack to do anything but it hasn't effected me i had a full health check only the other day NOTHING wrong with me i dont lounge around im always out in the open but there are other bussiness but with rugby being so shit every shop is closing so then WHAT? but people need to grow up for saying that all there illnesses come from cemex & car fumes are very high maybe you need to work out your maths!

  • How articulate....

    Unfortunately, your health check won't be able to tell if you're going to get lung cancer in 10-20 years time.

    The cement works will increase your risk without any doubt.

  • Rugby has already lost most of it's major industrial capacity over the last 30 years, and it doesn't need to lose any more. With industry there are jobs, and these jobs support local business. It is an eyesore, but if they built it elsewhere you would get another video complaining about how it has spoiled the view for someone else. We need jobs, and we need cement. And as a side effect, without this industry you wouldn't have Ryton Pools, Ufton Nature Reserve, and Bishop's Bowl Lakes.

  • No one cares about it being an eyesore! Everyone cares about dying early!

    How many other Rugby industries provide jobs and support local businesses WITHOUT killing its residents or making them ill? I bet you can name plenty! You think flooding old industrial sites and charging entrance fees to see the ducks makes up for the premature deaths of hundreds (if not thousands) of Rugby residents?

    Is a day out at a nature reserve a fair swap for 20 years of YOUR life?

  • If you can name the industries that still operate in rugby, fair enough. If you can tell me the last time you paid to go to Ufton or Bishop's bowl, fair enough. If you can show the premature death statistics as a result of Rugby Cement, fair enough. If you live in a house built without cement, fair enough....

  • "If you can show the premature death statistics as a result of Rugby Cement, fair enough." Think your missing the point that it'll be a tad too late by then.

  • You made a very sweeping comment about losing 20 years of my life. I would appreciate you being able to back that statement up, otherwise it's just hollow words. Also, you missed the three other points, one of which may be frivolous, but the other two are fairly pertinent. I haven't seen many mud huts or log cabins in Rugby with a horse and cart parked outside, where's yours? If you live in a traditionally built house, and drive a car, stop being a hypocrite and clean yourself up first.

  • Particulates from Cemex (which are at concentrations way higher than non-incinerator towns) collect toxins from burning tyres and carry them deep into your lungs. This causes lung cancer in a proportion of the population (normally fatal within 5 years of contracting it) as well as inducing strokes in others. There's enough studies that show this and I'll be happy to list a few.

    There's not one reason why Cemex should be allowed to carry on this grotesque experiment in Rugby.

  • Could you list those studies, please? And could you also provide the air pollution studies that have been carried out in Rugby both before and after the burning of tyres in the factory? I would welcome the evidence, and so would the other people who view this video so that we could make up our own minds, and not just be subject to other people's opinions.

  • I'm still waiting....

  • Is it true that some guy in 2000-2004 fell off the top of the Cemex and died???

    Cuz Ive always wanted to know...

  • sad bitch moaning about so called plite. youd like to see the works closed for good.and if that did happen there would a few hundred famileys who could show you toffee nosed spoilt cunts the real meaning of the word plite. rugbys a dump anyway, i used to sub for the council and the place is full of drugs

  • Don't worry Hank, while you're still struggling with basic spelling, there are people out there doing things to make you and your family's world a safer place to live in. No need to thank us, you just worry about your English lessons....

  • ok the people of rugby who are against cemex have campaigned but give it a rest. one point that you argue is that it gives off bad emissions well im sorry most of you that campaign all drive everywhere even to the local shop that is a 5 min walk away that gives off more emissions than what cemex do in a month so grow up......most of the time it doesnt effect you because you live out of reach of dust to effect most of you who are campaigning

  • "most of the time it doesnt effect you because you live out of reach of dust to effect most of you who are campaigning" Pollutants from the chimney easily reach everyone within Rugby Borough, which means over 91,000 people are subject to the fumes, toxins and carcinogens being pumped out of it, 24/7, 365 days a year, year in year out.

  • i live in rugby have done all my life & quite close to cemex it hasn't effected me. but like i said our car fumes are more harmful.why blame cemex for something we are doin ourselves.but it doesnt effect all of rugby when the dust clouds were dispersed.i saw most of rugby hardly effected. but you must want cemex closed then so are you going to give your job up for one of those people what would they do?.but yea rugby is a dump!. but it hasn't effected me or my family & they worked at cemex.

  • As respiratory disease and cancers take many years to develop, your statement "it hasn't effected me" means nothing.

    It's a bit like smoking: Smoking kills half of all people who smoke. But it's no good talking to people who have been smoking for 20 years or the other half it doesn't kill is there? They'll say "but it hasn't affected me!" even though half of them will die because of it!

    Actually, car fumes are not even close to the poisons generated by burning plastics and old car tyres.

  • British envy to a Mexican company

  • er..so where do you think the cement works should go then?

  • Maybe anywhere that's not in the middle of a residential area? Maybe like they do in other countries?

  • 1000 lories a day my arse...perhaps you ought to move...maybe into a house made of sweets and chocolate..? the country needs builing materials and people need jobs.

  • At least shes trying to do something.

    Pointlessly maybe, but something.

    The reason Rugby is a crap place to live is because of shambling mental wrecks, crack heads, non speller Chavs and racists ( see several exp. below)

    Oh yeah, and a giant fuck off Cement Works giving us all asthma and tumours.

    Anyone want a council house exchange?

  • I ask you.... what was there first... the town or the cement works??? I think you will find that the town has been developed around the cement works as historically it has always been a large employer of people. What is your house built with? To say it gives everyone tumors and things is a bit daft. Again, what was there first... the works or the crazy rambling women who looks like sideshow bob from the simpsons???

  • shut up

  • yerrr weree aboutt

  • Rugby is a shit hole anyway

    full of polish people now

    i lived all my life

    its always been shit

    no point trying to change it

  • hahaaa i live theree to and it is shiit holee

  • From Wikipedia: "Cemex was fined £400,000 on October 2006 after hazardous dust was deposited up to three miles away from its Rugby works. The judge criticised the company's "sloppy attitude" to managing the site." 3 miles is enough to pollute anywhere within Rugby and a Kilsby/Churchover/Dunchurch triangle. Nice.

  • I CAN TELL YOU CEMEX SUCKS

  • this woman is chatting a load of crap if they closed down the cement factory then they will be even more people looking for work and i bet her house was built with rugby cement

  • Do you know how many jobs..? Not many at all.

  • there are hundreds of people that work there including two of my familly there isnt enought jobs in rugby at the moment so if the rugby plant did close down then these stupid enviroment people will send the town down the shitter even more than it already is

  • There are loads of jobs in Rugby.. Probably not so many that enable you to contribute to the tons of toxins introduced to the people of Rugby every year but certainly enough where you are able to sleep at night with a clear conscience.

  • i live 4 streets away i dont care about the looks of the chimney and they have just put a new fillter on the top of the chimney and and there are not loads of jobs in rugby because all of the fucking polish have taken all of the jobs

  • and all of the traffic congestion will be gone when the western releif road is built

  • You don't need to make xenophobic comments. I suggest you look into the facts around why we are experiencing so much temporary immigration at the moment.

    Regarding the western relief. Well lets just see shall we.. You do realize it is not a bypass.. Just another road for trucks.

  • which bypasses lawford road, and it aint temporary immigration they more fucking benifits than we do

  • daniel you are a one man comedy cliche thick `ed Sun reader. They come over ere, taking our death inducing jobs, nicking our girlfriends, buying polish stuff from polish shops-

    Carry on old son, you`re great!

  • I see you live in a house?

  • i live in rugby and the first thing you see when you enter the town is the chimly and i hate it, it is a big cause of asma in the town and has grown quickly but it has been here for a long time and i supose we have to live with it.

  • mad123 vampire lurn to spel yu monngg

  • fuck u retard

  • I've popped zits that would've made for better viewing than that piece of crap.

    If you don't like living next door to a cement works you daft bitch with the fucked up name, then don't by a house next to one.

  • Worth pointing out that the plant has been there since the 1860's and the town has grown around it. I live 500yds from the plant and drive one of the lorries. Cemex are pouring cash into improving the site all the time, now using alternative fuels which are reducing emmissions and stopping a lot of waste going to landfill.

  • I'd also ask what other 'awful industry' the plant has brought to rugby? I've lived in rugby all my life and I've seen no adverse affects from the plant. Look forward to the future clips.....

  • omg im suprised the looney old biddy is sober! lol shes got banned from the council offices cuz she went in protesting to them drunk n swearing LOL! shame shes about the only 1 in rugby hu kiks up about the cement works.. no1 else is bothered by it. this is all true btw, belive me i live i rugby. that pic is in new bilton, 5 mins away from my house

  • 800-1000 lorries a day thru our victorian streets? There are not that many lorry movements per day,even your own website states 600-800. 720 lorries a day would be 1 truck every 2mins day and night which is daft when most leave for a delivery and might come back to rugby once or twice during the day to reload. I would say 70% don't go thru the town at all. Once the new bypass is finished 80-90% of the lorry traffic will have no need to go thru the town.

  • im from rugby, that street is lawford road, i live 3 streets away from there, in victoria avenue.

  • Brilliant Video!

  • great vid :)

  • goodness gracious..what a yucky building!!??

    Really feel for the people of Rugby..

    Best wishes to you all...x

  • unfortunatly our goverment cares about is how many houses they can nock up for all the immigrints there letting in

    i recently visited the old southam works (a fascinating place) came through rugby couldnt believe the size of the works and so close to the town so can fully understand why residents are a little cheased off with it, good luck guys/girls

  • Great video - telling the truth of how it is in Rugby and the effects of this monstrous blight on our town-scape. Here we have the direct result of money and profit versus quality of life in a nutshell: no matter what the cost to the health of the people and that of the environment, big business are allowed to consume and pollute to their heart's content as long as they keep generating a profit. Well done guys on a great video!

  • 800 to 1000 trucks a day.... woah... Down with CEMEX

  • @FromTheFrontline. Some people dont half talk some shite . all facts and figures are twisted to suit the protesters, dont lke it move, Simples. As for the polish workers in Rugby ,if the goverment didnt keep giving out benefits to every lazy twat, and make them work ,they wouldnt be here would they. Some people have piss all to do except whinge.
