I do not want the incinerator built in my town as I have grave concerns about its impact on health and the environment. I have survived multiple autoimmune diseases and do not wish to add cancer to the list as a result of either the increased pollution from traffic movements or microscopic carcinogens the plant will produce. These types of facilities have been banned in Europe and I believe they should be here in the UK too. There are other less harmful ways to produce power. I think it is criminal that with the NHS in crisis you would even consider building a facility in a densely populated area, next to a school as by doing so you are storing up health issues for the future. Even on a purely economic basis the on costs of health treatment for the local population going forward will outweigh any benefits the proposed plant might bring. These types of incinerators are no longer being built in Europe so why should the residents of Wisbech have to put up with it.
