I am concerned about the increased traffic caused by the lorries coming in and out of Wisbech. I know there is an access road proposed to be built somewhere on the road running from South Brink to Tesco BUT the area lorries will be travelling from includes Lincolnshire meaning they will use the A17/A1101 driving through Leverington onto the Freedom Bridge then through the centre of Wisbech to access the incinerator. There are already many lorries using this route, it will bring a massive amount of congestion and pollution to an area which is mainly residential, and which is growing as another 230 houses are under construction in Leverington along the A1101. If there are traffic problems on the A17 or A1101 then the lorries travel through the villages along roads never designed to take such large heavy vehicles. There are proposals to turn Wisbech into a Market Town - more a lorry park!!! Also the proposed incinerator is beside two existing schools, can the health of the children, our future, be guaranteed?
