If This proposal wins the incinerator will be located within the boundaries of the town close to supermarkets and shops. Wisbech is fed by mainly single carriageway rural roads. The A47 trunk road which now bypasses the town regularly becomes over congested causing tailbacks at roundabouts and junctions. The increase of transport numbers will be dramatic affecting anyone who travels around, out of or, into the town. The effect of fallout from the process has not been fully proven and can be dramatically more. Wisbech is a rural town of little more than 31,000 people located in a small area. With so much support from the population of Wisbech, it's MP and Kings Lynn which successfully blocked the incinerator proposal it appears madness to even consider the go-ahead. Kings Lynn, with a population of 154300 is 4.9 times the size of Wisbech- Is less resistance the reason for the proposal here.
