Having neglected Fenland and Wisbech for years so that the area has become run down and poorly served, there is now this proposal to build a massive incinerator plant not far from swathes of agricultural and residential land. This will not only deter fresh entrants to the area - who in their right mind would want to live within any radius of this monstrosity and have to suffer the massive increase of road haulage, on roads already not fit for purpose, but also the knock on effect on environmental quality from both noise and air pollution from the additional hundreds of lorries which will be required to transport the waste to the plant. This is without even considering what many feel as questionable statistics about pollution produced by the plant itself. It is without question a disgrace that this proposal should be even discussed - its merit in this area, is non existant.
