I am strongly opposed to the proposed incinerator in Wisbech. A facility of this size is totally unsuitable for this area and there are serious concerns that still haven’t been addressed, such as the impact on the environment, traffic, and health of local residents. This proposal will see over 300 lorry movements a day, bringing both household and commercial waste from up to a 2 hours' drive away, indeed, from places that have already rejected plans for such an incinerator to be built. It is ridiculous to consider building this incinerator so close to the largest school in the area. There has been misleading information presented and the adverse effects have not been truly identified in the consultation documentation provided.
