This proposed development of an incinerator will greatly impact everyone's day to day life in Wisbech. Traffic is atrocious as it is but adding numerous trucks etc would leave the roads at a stand still. The proposed structure is also being built near a school which will affect children's health and the health of those who reside around it. Asthmatics and those with COPD will suffer. It is so near a conservation area also that it will affect the wildlife greatly, air quality will be affected and it will stop people visiting Wisbech. It's meant to be a historical town of the Fens but who will visit or move into the area if an incinerator is nearby. It will be both an eye sore and a health risk. There will be a mass exodus of people abandoning the area. We're meant to be working towards Net Zero and a greener planet, not pumping tons of pollutants into the atmosphere. Push for more recycling.
