The saga of the illegal rubbish dump in the former quarry at Agia Triada, on the road from Kolymbari to Afrata, seems to be continuing. At the end of October we sent a letter to the mayor of Platanias, drawing his attention to the dump and requesting that he give priority to removing the environmental hazard which it represented. On the following day we received an acknowledgement from the Platanias Council, giving a case number and naming the official in charge. There was no further communication for some 6 weeks, during which time, no doubt, other citizens voiced their concern, some of them to the Haniotika Nea. On 6^th December the paper reported that it had had comments from readers about the dumping of potentially hazardous materials at the site, while the previous day it had caught fire and burned for five hours.
