My concerns over Sizewell C include: Is this the best site for a nuclear power station? With rising sea levels, this area could become swamped in a matter of a few years, threatening the safety and ability of the power station to operate. This will also create a headache regarding access to the site. Destruction of habitat in and around Minsmere, including Coronation Wood. Once habitat is destroyed it can take decades for it to recover it's natural biodiversity. The new roads infrastructure is inadequate. For example, the A12 through Yoxford is already at breaking point. This road and village cannot possibly take the extra traffic that the site will create during the building phase, even with a pathetic new roundabout. With respect to new roads and routes and traffic, have cycle paths been included on the plans? If not, there has been inadequate forward thinking. Has the impact to the area of the inevitable rat runs that the new car parks will create been considered? Has a comparative costing been made with clean energy alternatives such as tidal power? Nuclear power is not green: it creates waste that we don't know how to deal with. That is not green
