Thu, 1 November 2007 Many of our towns and cities in South Yorkshire have been left with the legacy of their industrial past in the form of contaminated land. As the financial cost of remediation works directly affects any development of these sites the knock on affect is a slowing down of any economic growth. With various solutions to this problem failing to make the grade in a commercial environment a new pilot scheme based in Sheffield is looking to address this issue. The CLUSTER project being run by CLAIRE (Contaminated Land: Applications in Real Environments) is entering its implementation phase having been developed as a pilot project over the last year. As CLUSTER moves into this delivery stage local businesses, stakeholders, shakers and movers will be able to benefit from the process. Should the project be as successful as forecast it could dramatically affect the way in which our towns, cities and economies grow. This breakfast meeting gives you the opportunities to discover how the project differs from previous attempts at addressing the issue of brownfield sites in South Yorkshire. It would be ideal for anyone interested in land management, the construction sector, remediation or a general interest in the environmental aspects of our modern cities.
