Stop the development of the proposed crematorium in New Milton, Hampshire.

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

Is anyone else NOT in favour of the new crematorium in Stem Lane? Ive read some stuff I'm SERIOUSLY concerned about; just google health risks of living near a crematorium and see what you find. WE ONLY HAVE TILL 20th MAY TO OBJECT.

See below for previously recorded health problems
Reported higher incidence (4/5%) of stillbirths/birth defects
Burning Mercury from fillings is toxic (brain/nervous system affected) crematoria account for 16% of mercury output. Mercury ends up in ponds/water and can harm wildlife/poison fish which damages humans if eaten
Adverse effect on house prices
Constant stream of funeral cars
Smell they are saying is not an issue but people living near Poole crematorium beg to differ
Once the plans are passed that's it so wanted to raise awareness
