I do not live far from the proposed incinerator. I am frankly very very worried about the impact of the incinerator on human and animal/wildlife health. Here is a recent quote: The All Party Parliamentary Group on Air Pollution says construction of new incinerators should be halted due to concerns over public health and environmental impacts. The Labour MP Geraint Davies MP sits on the group. "Well, the incineration has caused much, much more carbon than other forms of energy production. Incineration causes air pollution in particulates, ultra-fine particulates to do the most damage our report showed and these incinerators being placed in the poorest urban communities where potentially they could do the most harm." Wisbech will not be able to cope with the huge increase in traffic. The incinerator is not far from the centre of Wisbech and traffic is bad enough here at the best of times.
