Have you lived in The Wood at anytime since the 60s?

Paula from The Wood

I am interested in corresponding with anyone who has lived in the reclaimed area of The Wood, where the rubbish tip was covered over before being built on.
Our family home, where we still live, was one of the first few built on North Road. Up until a few years ago, we've had an abundant vegetable garden that has sustained four generations. In my 20s, I noticed odd things going on with my health and now in my late 40s, I've been diagnosed with various autoimmune diseases.
Knowing that we've had letters from council concerning toxic waste having been dumped here before soil was brought in from elsewhere, I am wondering if there are any people out there with a similar story of heath issues, and do you suspect there is a connection with the land? I've often thought of having the soil tested, some of you may have already done so. We often think our illnesses occur in isolation, but there could be more to it than that.
Please contact me on paulamail2013@gmail.com, if you would like to discuss it.
Warm wishes, Paula.
