I emailed this letter to Wiltshire Council. The deadline for responses is 22 September. Send yours to: Developmentmanagement@wiltshire.gov.uk or see here for the Wiltshire Council planning application page.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Westbury Incinerator planning number 20/06775/WCM
We are writing to object to the planned Westbury Incinerator at Northacre Industrial Estate.
Many people living in the town already suffer with chronic health problems. Cancer and lung condition deaths are higher here than across Wiltshire.
Poor air quality has been exacerbated by HGVs being diverted from Bath onto the A350 through Westbury. The Incinerator would mean an additional 20,000 truck journeys a year around the town.
Smoke billowing from the Incinerator chimney would make the situation even worse, further damaging the health of Westbury residents.
The children and young people of the town deserve better than to have their lives blighted by growing up in the shadow of this environmentally disastrous development.
We would urge that Wiltshire Council oppose the Incinerator plans submitted by Northacre Renewable Energy Ltd.
Yours sincerely....
See the Westbury Gasification Action Group for more information.
