We believe that this project would be harmful to our environment. The evidence on incinerators is that they produce noise, traffic, pollutants and smells which are harmful to people living locally. Extra traffic will be generated by the construction and the running; vehicle movements would be considerable in an already saturated traffic area. The process of incineration would produce hazardous substances. Residues would need to be transported by road. Airborne particles add to air pollution and have a cumulative harmful effect on the population. To be commercially run, waste materials would need to be brought in from well outside the local area, which is inefficient and polluting in itself. The burning of waste discourages better recycling practices
