Wisbech has been my home for 60+years and whilst it has grown and thrived in some aspects - sadly not in many others. It is the supposed 'Capital of the Fens' but little to demonstrate that fact. Infrastructure is dire and criminality is extremely worrying. To consider building this Mega Incinerator so close to food processing factories, schools, residential areas and agricultural land with 300+lorry movements each day will cause gridlock for certain. The town is 'wedged' between the River Nene and the A47 bypass with only 2 small bridges bringing traffic in from outlying villages - this has grown almost to a standstill especially when accidents occur. Emergency services do not stand a chance to travel to King's Lynn especially with coastal traffic adding to the congestion. The health impact terrifies me for the whole area despite any assurances reported. I am totally against the location and whole idea of it being necessary.
