We have been on the main industrial estate in Wisbech for over 34 years where we grown and developed in to a business recognised throughout East Anglia for suppying quality reclaimed building materials.I now fear that if the proposed waste incinerator were to be approved my customers would not be prepared to visit out premises due to the hazardous fumes nearby and also the congestion of traffic.The main A47 road is already too busy and dangerous and could not cope with the suggested 300 heavy goods vehicles per day.The large cold store on Boleness Rd is already causing traffic jams with lorries backing up along the road waiting to be unloaded,the drivers taking their rest breaks and even overnight sleeping on the roadside.The queues are already horrendous. It is totally inappropriate to propose a development such as this which is not near a major road or city.I understand the household waste could be brought in from as far as 2 hours away which is ridiculous to suggest when we are 25 miles away from the nearest major road or city.
