This project is unacceptable for a number off reasons 1. Huge increase in lorries carry waste, further increasing congestion, pollution and noise, which is already at a unacceptable level. The road cannot handle such a increase in heavy vehicles as the roads already suffer from pot holes and increasing sinkholes as the area is built on reclaimed marshland. Our house already shakes from lorries passing by. 2. Pollution is proven to come from such incineration plants and the proposed project is very close to a large secondary school and numerous housing estates. Why is such a project being proposed to be built right in the middle of the town, when there are thousands upon thousands of acres of empty land with far better main road access for vehicle in the area. 3. Such plant are not eco friendly and goes against the supposed governments greening policy 4. Such proposals will not bring any significant employment opportunities and the cons far outweigh any pros. Such project would have a very negative impact on the economy of the town, making Wisbech a place were people will not wish to live.
