I am strongly apposed to the proposed incinerator in Wisbech. A facility of this size is totally unsuitable for this area which is an important agricultural area. Also I think there are many key concerns that still haven't been fully addressed. The proposals would mean over 300 lorry movements in a 12hr window a day from upto a 2hr drive away to a mega incinerator which would be situated 500m from the largest secondary school in the constituency. These roads are not suitable for this sort and volume of traffic and would be fatal accidents just waiting to happen. Hundreds of thousands of tonnes of non recyclable municipal, commercial and industrial waste will be brought to Wisbech each year. The impact a facility like this will have on the local community, environment, traffic and health of the constituents will be huge and very worrying and cannot be allowed to go through.
