The proposed Wisbech incinerator is in totally the wrong place, too near to schools and residents. It will be a huge monolith ‘pumping’ over 20million tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. There will be an increase in heavy traffic through the area, putting a burden on already congested roads. Nationally the UK already has an overcapacity to burn waste meaning yet more recyclable materials would be used as fuel. We should be recycling more and not polluting the air. Incinerators are an inefficient and highly polluting method of power generation.
