dear sir/madam/planning inspectorate: it will probably surprise you why I'm contacting you but its not what you think as you've probably had hundreds of responses regarding this matter but I just wanted to let you know where I am on this matter. I've done my research and i know most of the local people from my town are objecting to this incinerator being build but I for one don't object to this at all in fact I strongly believe we need it. And we need a alternative in how we dispose of our waste I don't believe anyone that opposes this have thought it through properly and some of there arguments are totally unjustified. The road infrastructure arguments there using are not valid has they have had years to sort this out but haven't as far as pollution being a issue they don't seem to have addressed the issue that something on this scale would have to be heavy regulated. Now don't get me wrong I'm not saying incineration is the complete answer to our waste problems but you have to have something else in place to complement the recycling issue which i believe this is a failed experiment on our local authorities were only a small island. And we are running out landfill space that we seriously need a alternative to our current situation and we seriously can't keep expecting other countries to keep on taking our waste its costing us alot of money and we really need to start taking responsibility of our own waste. Wisbech is in need of much needed jobs and I believe this can only improve things for Wisbech and not so much a blight on the town like most people of Wisbech are saying. So in all this letter is in support for MVV and my support for this incinerator to come to Wisbech needs investment and i believe that is something MVV can provide plus the energy they can provide for the town & possibly the nation. date & time: Monday 31/10/2022 signed: Mr Wayne Cook.
