Objections to Wisbech incinerator - 1) "Incineration causes air pollution in particulates, ultra-fine particulates do the most damage a report showed and these incinerators are being placed in the poorest urban communities where potentially they could do the most harm." Quote 2) Thousands of tonnes of non-recyclable municipal and commercial and industrial waste will be brought to Wisbech each year. 3) Above would bring hundreds of lorries to the town every day and the area does not have the road infrastructure to cope with that level of traffic. 4) As noted the above will generate considerably more noise, an increase in air pollution (which will impact on public health and well being), harm the environment and greatly affect the precious local wildlife/nature reserves. 5) In addition, it will set back efforts to bring down carbon emissions to create a greener future for us all.
