The main road A47 cannot cope with the extra 300? lorries per day bringing in waste. If there is an accident or traffic lights on the A47 vehicles are diverted along the historic North Brink past Wisbech Grammar School and into the already congested Centre of town. There is a weight restriction on the old bridge so the traffic will gridlock on the Town bridge merging with vehicles coming from the B1101 and the A17. Why is the incinerator being proposed 25 miles away from the nearest major road being the A1 at Peterborough? Surely it makes sense to be near a city to put the energy back into the grid?
