Please ask your MP to join the debate on 11.02.20 at 9.30 a.m. in Westminster Hall, about incinerator overcapacity and pollution concerns.  You can find your MP's contact details at -https://members.parliament.uk/members/Commons                            This follows the previous debate attended by 30 cross party MP's -         (• https://ukwin.org.uk/2020/01/30/mps-use-westminster-hall-debate-to-raise-concerns-about-incineration/ - UKWIN's account of what was said at the Westminster Hall debate on commercial & industrial waste on 28th January 2020)
Other information that may be of use to your MP includes: - https://ukwin.org.uk/oppose-incineration/ - UKWIN's arguments against incineration.                                                  https://edm.parliament.uk/early-day-motion/51049/moratorium-on-new-waste-incineration-capacity - Early Day Motion #591 of the 2017-19 session (Moratorium on Waste Incineration Capacity), where MPs from all of the main political parties set out the case that we should not be building new incinerators
https://ukwin.org.uk/facts/ - Recent incineration-related statistics, including how in Wales 74.5% of residual C&I waste was potentially recyclable (and in many areas across the UK more than half of what is in the residual municipal waste stream is recyclable), indicating we need to be investing in education and better recycling services rather than yet more incineration capacity.
Bexley has the largest waste incinerator in Greater London, we do not feel another incinerator should be built on the same site, due to the existing overcapacity in the industry.
