My main issues are as follows, the increased Traffic flow in and out of Wisbech with trucks who will be feeding the furnace once the incinerator is lit, to my knowledge it will burn 24/7, for this it needs a source to burn (rubbish) of which will not be sufficient from just the local area it will need to come from far afield, I live close to a recycling plant on the out skirts of Cambridge and know from the traffic, how the road conditions are affected by such lorries visiting, the amount of rubbish that seems to leave the lorries whilst in transit, the roads around Wisbech will become covered with litter, I have physically seen rubbish fly out of such vehicles, I have even seen council vehicles with cages on the back allow rubbish to fly out the top, this is totally irresponsible to even consider such a site close to Wisbech. Of course before all this we will have all the vehicles involved with the building process and then the emissions from the site once in operation, how is this monitored? The Main road structure in part of Wisbech is already stretched (A47) with no suitable alternative routes if and when either breakdowns or accidents occur, an alternative site must be found away from a town or city with good road links from all directions.
