Abolish the government’s approval to build the incinerator in Wisbech,

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

We the people of Wisbech would like the government to withdraw the approval to build the mega incinerator in a Georgian market Town with plenty of historic buildings.

The mega incinerator is going to be a threat to the local community. The main secondary school of Wisbech is only few miles away from the proposed site. The noise, pollution and air quality will be adversely affected - as the environmental agency are forecasting warmer summers the increase in pollution particles will adversely affect anyone with respiratory conditions etc. The food factories are nearer to the proposed site. The traffic congestion and pollution causes adverse effects on humans and animals.

It was about a matter for a local council or devolved government, not the UK Government or Parliament.
