My concerns about the proposed new reactors at Sizewell are as follows: 1. Damage to the environment has not been thoroughly investigated, nor have detailed plans for adequate mitigation been put in place. 2. The increase in road traffic will have a significant negative effect on the quality of life for the people who live here and will potentially have damaging effects on the economy particularly the tourist trade. 3. Noise and light pollution from the site during the build will have a negative effect on local wildlife, especially at Minsmere Nature Reserve. This will also negatively impact on local residents and tourists. 4. The proposed residential blocks for workers at Eastbridge will negatively impact the surrounding village and Minsmere and is in an unsuitable location for so many people. 5. Parking for Darsham Station will be made difficult and unpredictable for locals needing to use the train as there will be large numbers using the station and car park in the park and ride scheme and there is insufficient evidence that the parking provided will be sufficient. 6. There is insufficient evidence that coastal erosion will not lead to the new reactors being left vulnerable to the sea. 7. There is still no proper plan to dispose of nuclear waste safely.
