Well, it seems that the costs have soared to almost double the original estimate and yet again it appears our council deems it fit for our cash to go and prop up a private company
quote: Under the contract Veolia is liable for all increased costs to the project but councillors feared that without help the contractor would go bankrupt causing the project to collapse. Veolia faces a rise in construction costs from £71.7 million to £145.7 million.
Yea the council got a huge bung through SEEDA to accept this plan.. public fund proping up Viola waste management so people of Newhaven can breath toxic fumes and CO2 emissions can go through the roof.
Any odours can be removed before they are emitted.
If the incinerator emits smelly odour it will be fined.
You cannot smell many toxic gases but any toxins should be removed before emission.
You will suffer more harm to health living under power lines.
Most toxins are removed in the flute chimmeny, but not all Dioxins. Dioxins are accumlative in the food chain so releasing them into the environment is generally a pretty bad idea. You can read a government report on it if you like. I think the evidence of Dioxins damage to health is far more compelling then the dangers of power lines.
TV Local News has reported that the Newhaven Incinerator has been given full permission to go ahead.
Of course Local Problems must be consulted.
You can consult local opinion and you can consider local problems but you cannot consult problems. Having said that, they do not really seem capable of consulting local opinion either ... well, not to the extent where they take notice of what is being said.
