Say "NO " to the construction of the Wisbech Incinerator

The Issue

As local residents deeply concerned about our community's health and environment, we are raising our voices against the proposed construction of a £300 million incinerator in Wisbech, one of Europe's largest waste conversion plants. This project not only threatens to become an eyesore with its giant tower but also poses significant health risks to our community, particularly to children attending a school located dangerously close to the proposed site.

Our young ones' developing lungs should not be subjected to pollutants from the country's waste. The potential impact on vulnerable members of our society is equally alarming. Furthermore, our roads are ill-equipped to handle increased lorry traffic that this plant will inevitably bring.

Despite strong opposition from local groups and councils, Environment Secretary Claire Coutinho will decide on this project in the next three months. It is crucial that we stand united now more than ever and send a clear message - Fenland isn't a dumping ground for your waste!

We urge everyone who cares about their community's health and environment to sign this petition. Let us fight every step of the way against this unwanted monstrosity! Your signature can make a difference in preserving Wisbech for future generations!
