The Wisbech incinerator proposed is massive this would cause depression, anxiety fears for the people living next to it. People would be worrying about their health and the health of their children. All the communities around would suffer health problems near and far. It is also upwind of Kings Lynn which has fought against Waste Incineration in the past were people voted in there thousands to say No to waste incineration 65.000 people made their voices heard and this result against incineration should be respected. Norfolk has the most beautiful flat landscape and an incinerator on the flats plains would just be very ugly. The area thrives with wildlife and we have The Wash a beautiful bay and multiple estuary. Millions of migratory birds feed in the bay and surrounding marshes a beautiful sight to see, lots of wildlife shellfish, shrimp, cockles, mussels, oystercatchers, common tern, marsh harriers, geese, pink-footed goose, shelduck, pintail, ringed plover, lapwing, knot, sanderling, dulin, black tailed godwit, bar tailed godwit, curlew, redshank and turnstone. This is in the Norfolk Coast area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. And is covered by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. The birds and all the wildlife living there all depending on this area for their survival a waste incinerator would without doubt jeopardise their much needed food source. BBC Springwatch TV program filmed there at the nature reserve this year in May. Please stop incinerator. Thank you
