The Proposed incinerator in Wisbech Cambs. I am extremely concerned about the increased traffic pollution that will be caused by this project for Wisbech and the surrounding area, both from a personal prospective due to my respiratory health issues and from the perspective of a resident care concerned about the area. Wisbech is a small market town at least 45 mins driving time from any major arterial traffic routes therefore the added pollution caused by trucks will outweigh any perceived reduction of pollution in avoiding landfill. I am also concerned that the particulates released from such a large incinerator could impact on the health of all local residents and may influence the existing, and future plans, companies may have to process and pack food in this area. Food production and processing forms a major part of the area’s economy.
