I can't understand why an incinerator of this size and impact is even being considered when it's in such close proximity to a large town with thousands of residents including young children whose future health could be compromised by this decision. Furthermore the transporting of huge quantities of non recyclable rubbish to this plant would not only increase pollution but the roads are mainly single carriageway and are already gridlocked for large parts of the day. Wisbech is a thriving town with a growing population and should not be used as a dumping ground for the regions rubbish. The people of wisbech deserve to be protected from the inevitable pollutants which would be a by product of this development.
