We are a local family business established 50 years ago and have built up a portfolio of commercial properties renting to mainly local businesses. Already for us and our tenants the stigma surrounding the proposed waste incinerator is causing concerns over the future our businesses. There are considerable worries over the potential health risks and contamination within the food related factories leading to empty and unrentable buildings and furthermore mass unemployment. House prices will drop leading to negative equity. The traffic congestion will be horrendous, 300 lorries per day in a small market town with an already poor road network will be a disaster and extremely dangerous. Every road in and out of Wisbech will be totally gridlocked.
