The proposed incinerator is extremely close to several schools, housing estates and shops and factories. Air pollution is a huge concern as climate change is so important. The road infrastructure around Wisbech is inadequate to accommodate 300 plus lorries a day bringing the material to be burnt. This will cause deadlock on the roads which are already over used. As more housing is built in Wisbech this is causing more traffic build up and traffic jams. The pollution caused by so many lorries will be detrimental to the health of the residents of Wisbech and the surrounding areas. These are just a few of my concerns and feel Wisbech has been chosen as it is a deprived area and nobody in the government cares about us.
