The Prime Minister has once again reiterated that local concerns must be taken account when communities are faced with incinerator proposals.
During PMQ’s on March 30th Fiona Bruce MP for Congleton asked the Prime Minister whether local views should be of paramount concern and specifically referred to the plans for an incinerator at Middlewich, capable of burning 370,000 tonnes of waste a year, which were unanimously rejected by Cheshire East Council and is now the subject of an appeal. The appellant is Covanta.
The local council and the Cheshire Anti-Incinerator Network (ChAIN) are vociferously fighting the plans and MMAG fully support them.
