Opposition to Oldhall West incinerator

That the Parliament supports the campaign formed by local residents to oppose the waste incinerator proposed at Oldhall West, Irvine; regrets that planning permission was granted for the project before the Scottish Government's moratorium was in place; understands that local residents already experience higher than average levels of respiratory disease and that there are fears that this could rise as a result of an incinerator operating nearby; further understands that concerns have been raised about overcapacity and whether the plant is actually required; believes that locals have presented evidence that shows that waste incinerators produce immense volumes of greenhouse gases and disincentivise recycling and reuse, and calls on the developers of the proposed incinerator to drop their proposals immediately.
