Incinerator at Newhaven.

[Eddie the Seagull]

Will cope with 250,000 Tonnes of crap every year.

Can that include Falmer village, Lewes District Council & Crystal Palace FC please, Mr Leader of Brighton City Council

 

[Yorkie]

Nooo we don't want anything of Palace near us.
I found a couple of Palace fans when asking for signatures last Saturday

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Thing is the Lewes residents (which incl Newhaven) dont want this but they council are expected to rubber stamp this.

Yet they will try and put us under even tho the majority of residents dont want them to stop Falmer.

 

[ShorehamGull]

LDC and the Nimbys are always full of CRAP

 

[Dandyman]

Alternatively let Brighton village incinerate it's own crap.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Alternatively let Brighton village incinerate it's own crap.

Why, that is what Lewes is there for....

Lets be honest, Lewes has a 400 year tradition of burning things, so best let the experts carry on.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Thing is the Lewes residents (which incl Newhaven) dont want this but the council are expected to rubber stamp this.

The decision will be taken by East Sussex County Council, not Lewes District Council.

At least ESCC kept well away from all the Falmer Public Inquiries.

 

[BensGrandad]

Should LDC win a judicial review and stop us developing Falmer it would make an ideal site for an incinerator as the smell will mix with the country smells and bulls..t and could be staffed cheaply by building a hostel for illegal immigrants near Falmer Station.

 

[Yorkie]

What smell?

Having lived for 9 years within a mile of an incinerator I can tell you that there is no smell.

So what are all the objections about

 

[Yorkie]

So what are all the objections about

I would say fear of the unknown.

I am hardly going to stand in the middle of Newhaven and say I am not worried about it.

 

[Redhead]

Its an eye sore, and if you're not fussed we will stick in your back garden

 

[Yorkie]

To be honest it doesn't look any worse than anything else down by the river.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

People are only too willing to believe this sort of thing ...


Statement by Michael Meacher, Environment Minister, to the House of Lords inquiry on 14 April 1999:

"Incinerator plants are the source of serious toxic pollutants: dioxins; furans; acid gases; particulates; heavy metals; and they all need to be treated very seriously."

"There must be absolute priority given to human health requirements and protection of the environment."

"I repeat, the emissions from incinerator processes are extremely toxic. Some of the emissions are carcinogenic. We know, scientifically, that there is no safe threshold below which we can allow such emissions. We must use every reasonable instrument to eliminate them altogether."

 

[Redhead]

To be honest it doesn't look any worse than anything else down by the river.

But we dont want to make deepest industrial newhaven worse! I mean presumabally it will open up jobs, but, while i cant think of any where off the top of me head, there must somewhere within Brighton's city councils jurisdiction (sp) they could stick it?

 

[Muhammad - I’m hard - Bruce Lee]

all you see north of the bridge are piles of hardcore (rubble, not porn before el pres gets excited) and dis-used warehouses anyway, cant think what could be worse than that

 

[Yorkie]

There were protests at Huddersfield originally when it was first brought up.

I don't know the figures for health around Huddersfield but I don't remember it as a hot bed of cancer.

 

[dougdeep]

All that rubbish being burned and yet there is no smell?

 

[Yorkie]

There are filters in the chimney.

 

[Bwian]

There are filters in the chimney.

So it's like a giant Rothmans?
