I am deeply concerned about the financial viability of EDF, the main partner for the project. I believe that it will leave the government in an indebted position for many decades, including during the eventual decommissioning of this nuclear facility, for which there is still no long-term safe method of storing nuclear waste. I also believe that the decision to proceed with additional nuclear capacity dos not accord with the UK government acceptance of the Paris agreement on climate change and legislation to make the UK Zero Carbon by 2050. Finally, I am very concerned about its negative effect on the region's amenity, cultural heritage and landscape value. I fully support the Relevant Representations of Stop Sizewell C (the Theberton and Eastbridge Action Group on Sizewell Ltd), which are more comprehensive than my list.
