Zane's Law on landfill becomes Green Party policy
Briefly

Baroness Natalie Bennett emphasized the importance of the new law, stating, 'Current UK regulations on contaminated land pose a threat to human life and welfare.' This reflects the Green Party's commitment to ensuring a safer environment for families affected by contaminated sites.
The Gbangbola family tragically shared, 'When we bought our Chertsey house, no environmental searches identified the field behind the property was former landfill.' This highlights the critical need for transparency in property transactions to protect future homeowners.
Nicole Lawler, Zane’s mother, reiterated their fight for Zane's Law, stating, 'We want legislation to provide greater transparency over contaminated land, named after our son.' Their efforts have gained support from various councils, showing a growing concern for contaminated land.
Zane's father, Kye Gbangbola, critically noted, 'Public health documents stated firefighters found hydrogen cyanide, but no carbon monoxide was reported. This discrepancy fueled our campaign for truth and accountability.' Their experience underscores the urgency for legislative reform in the UK.
