This incinerator is proposed to generate over 50 megawatts of power. Consequently, hundreds of thousands of tonnes of non-recyclable waste will be brought to Wisbech each year in order to fuel this. This facility will undoubtedly impact the local community in terms of pollution, increased traffic, pressure on infrastructure / and the health of residents. A local planning decision is being avoided because of the size of the incinerator; which alone is a terrifying marker of the scale and magnitude of this project. This is completely unfair on local residents, who have invested time, money and energy into making the town what it is. This will certainly, aside from the health and environmental issues mentioned, have a negative influence on property prices and saleability too. Again negatively affecting the people of Wisbech and surrounding areas.
