I object to the building of this mega incinerator in my home town as documented by the World Health Organisation- there is no safe level of particulates. The emissions from this incinerator will severely affect the health of the local population. My children, family and friends will be affected by this. I work as [redacted] and am horrified at the prospect of this being built next to my practice population. The location is within 500m of the largest senior school in the town. The town is already an area of deprivation and know to have poor health outcomes this will only increase the gap. We do not have the road infrastructure to support the 300 extra lorry movements a day to keep the incinerator running. We have single carriageway roads in the surrounding area which are frequently blocked due to volume of traffic and accidents. [redacted] and the grade one agricultural land will be poisoned by the emissions. The produce is likely to be affected too. MVV say it is safe. But they cannot say this as there are no long term studies into the affects of incinerator emissions on surrounding land.
