I totally disagree with this incinerator being built in Wisbech. It is in an area that is close to schools and residential area! The infrastructure could NOT deal with the amount of extra vehicles that would be travelling to and from the area. The roads around the site are already under so much disrepair with lots of sink holes already having to be dealt with on a regular basis. These roads CANNOT and WOULD NOT cope with the amount of disruption. I also worry about the serious impact on the heath that these monstrosities cause it is a proven fact about the illnesses caused by them as seen in other areas where they have been built!!! This is a small market town with lots of historical architecture and buildings. I do not think this is a place to put this or anywhere else really as a matter of fact, also the amount of waste needed to generate something this size would be ridiculous and mean waste being carried here from hundreds of miles radius to try to keep it going …….what has happened to RECYCLING!!!! Surely a more worthwhile cause !! After all isn’t it that we have been working towards for many many years now and about cutting down our carbon footprint? It makes all that is said and preached to us look like a complete joke and waste of taxpayers hard earned money! Our house prices would be also in this whole area be affected and make this a no go area for sale !! All in all a no go place for it to be built !!!!
