STOP PORTLAND WASTE INCINERATOR

10/10/20 PETITION NOW CLOSED. PLEASE SUBMIT AN OBJECTION TO PLANNING APPLICATION.

Please help us to STOP this proposed waste incinerator by signing our Petition:

We live in a beautiful part of the world and we want to keep it beautiful and a safe and healthy place to live in for our children, grandchildren and ourselves.

This facility really isn’t needed - the UK already has enough incinerator capacity and doesn’t need more.  Our research has shown us that this incinerator will: 

• release tiny dangerous particles into the air - that cannot yet be monitored
• increase health risks - however small - for our children
• bring more lorries thundering along our busy roads (esp Portland Road)
• possibly need to be ‘fed’ in the future by waste imported from outside the UK
• create a big, unsightly blot on our beautiful landscape and coast
• discourage recycling
• possibly not create many jobs for local residents at all!

It makes no sense to create all these problems and concerns for people in Portland, Weymouth and surrounding areas, when there is no need.  The UK has enough incinerator capacity and is surely going to need less in the future as we move to a greener, circular economy where less is wasted and more is re-used and recycled. 

STOP it NOW before it’s too late.  Thank you.
