I am completely opposed to the mega incinerator being built in Wisbech. I am very concerned about the amount of extra traffic the incinerator will cause. Traffic is already very high in the area and blocks very quickly. I’m concerned about the rising pollution levels extra traffic will cause and the effects of the health of our residents. Having read the paperwork submitted by the company and researched the company’s previous projects, I have reservations about the data they have offered and their projections for pollution from the incinerator. I have young children and am concerned about their health, especially with the planned incinerator being so close to a school. Their incinerator in Plymouth was not supposed to smell but the residents their feel misled and now have to deal with unpleasant smells. I feel this would really effect house prices and other opportunities in Wisbech, as it is too close to residential areas. Most of all, I can not understand why anyone would think this was a good place to put a mega incinerator.
