I don't usually listen to Radio Cardiff but Vince had borrowed the car earlier in the day today and he does. So when I got in the car to drive home just now the radio was still tuned to Radio Cardiff and there was someone talking about the dredging that is just starting at Hinkley. Yesterday when I was doing the bar at lunch time one of the fishermen, can't remember who, was making comment about dredging and dumping of mud. This guy was saying that the mud from the dredging can only be dumped on Cardiff Grounds due to Hinckley being within the Severn Estuary Conservation Area and nothing from this can be dumped west of a line just west of Hinkley, and therefore everything has to be dumped East of Hinkley in a site that is large enough, and Cardiff Grounds is the only suitable area.
