Respondent: Audrey Gurney

Representation Summary:

As a West Winch resident of more than 30 years - I was part of the 5 year campaign against the incineration plant proposal for the Willows Industrial Estate, which was quashed. I was therefore shocked to find that this had appeared again on the draft Waste plan.

65,000 West Norfolk residents voted NO to Incineration in the Borough Council Poll stating that Incineration was unacceptable in West Norfolk - therefore this must not happen.
People are more important than money - something the planners do not seem to understand.

Along with this and in light of all the data around how dangerous Fracking is we find that there is a proposal for this to be placed in Setchey - this again must not happen - Fracking is being stopped all over the country - if this is pursued it will be met will huge opposition from the residents of West Norfolk.
