I am strongly opposed to the proposed incinerator in Wisbech. I believe a facility of this size is wholly unsuitable for this area and think there are many key concerns that still haven’t been fully addressed, such as the impacts on health, traffic, and the environment amongst others. Our town is a small town situated in a rural area; the proposed incinerator is going to be a blot on a flat, tranquil landscape, situated in the immediate vicinity of many homes and local businesses. These proposals would involve over 300 lorry movements a day, bringing both household and commercial waste from up to a 2 hours' drive away to a mega incinerator located 500m from the largest secondary school in our town. Our roads are busy enough without the extra lorries, during the summer months there are endless traffic problems due to our prdominantly, single carriage way road structure. Multiple flaws have been identified with the consultation, inaccurate and misleading information presented by the developer, and adverse effects from the scheme which have not been accurately reflected in the developer's consultation documentation. We are a small, friendly market town, a haven for many, such as myself who have moved from the busy, congested life in London and other busy polluted Cities. Please do not allow this monstrosity to spoil the life we have in Wisbech.
