Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

To stop the go ahead of an industrial incinerator near residential properties.
There is a major health concern regarding this due to a significant rise in childhood asthma and deaths.
As well as the pollution it will cause it will also affect property prices in the area.
This has to be stopped.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This is a matter for the relevant waste authority, which is likely to be your local county council: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/waste.

You might therefore like to contact your local councillor(s) and ask them to act on your behalf. Your local authority appears to be Oldham Council, and you can find out their contact details here: https://www.oldham.gov.uk/contact.
