The company have completely ignored opposition to this which personally, is down to carcinogens, transport, noise and environment. They plan to have 300 lorries a day, making Wisbech gridlocked! They plan to build near schools! They neglect to mention the smell of burning rubbish to those living near and the carcinogens produced, they forget to mention the metals left behind will be hazardous materials which have to be removed specially! They fail to acknowledge the noise, not only of the incinerator but the lorries! In regard to the environment, our local air quality will plummet due to the extra transport going to and coming from the site. There are concerns they will negatively affect Wisbech's chances of a train line which we need for growth, Wisbech to London should exist by now, getting a bus to Peterborough should not be necessary by now! MVV have failed to address these concerns and do not bother to respond to residents, but us citizens end up having to live near their eyesore/monstrosity! Hopefully sense will be seen and the mega incinerator will be rejected!
