📢 IMPORTANT INCINERATOR UPDATE – Make Your Voice Heard!

Thank you so much to everyone who’s signed and shared the petition so far.

The public now have a key opportunity to speak directly to the Planning Inspector about the incinerator proposal.

🗓 Public Listening Session – Thursday 24th April, from 3.00 p.m.
📍 Swadlincote Town Hall, 3 Midland Road, DE11 0AG

This session is for us - the community. Whether you’re worried about traffic, wildlife, health, or lack of local benefit, this is your moment to speak up.

The Inspector is there to listen, not argue.

 
Here’s how you can help:

1️⃣ Attend the Listening Session in Swadlincote on the 24th April

Even if you don’t plan to speak, your presence matters.

2️⃣ Share the Poster

✅ Be calm, clear, and honest
✅ There’s no cross-questioning
✅ You don’t need to be an expert - lived experience matters

We can provide friendly advice or help you draft your statement if you'd like support. Our website footer has our full objections document. 

 
Let’s stand together for our community and make sure the Inspector hears us.
