The “Yes to Falmer, No to the incinerator” march?

[Caveman]

Join forces?

 

[colinpants]

i'd be up for that. I bet a lot of the nimby's round here would be no to both tho'

 

[Napper]

could be good

 

[Caveman]

It'll be right on there door step too!

 

[Dandyman]

Join forces?

Good point. Hope the Falmer for All team are reading this.

 

[Safeway]

Surely if you are pro-Falmer but anti-incinerator that makes you not only a NIMBY but a hypocrite?

 

[Mr Banana]

I think it would be a waste for us to get involved with the incinerator business. It's a rubbish campaign.

 

[Everest]

Yes or no to the incinerator? That's the burning question.


*off to work*

Could be a bit of a hot potato. It will inflame passions and raise the tempreture of the debate.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Some of us say YES to both Falmer AND the Incinerator.

If we don't get an incinerator, exactly WHERE do you suggest a new landfill site should be created when Beddingham is full in three years time?

It is also rather satisfying to oppose Lewes District Council's policies across the board.

Words of wisdom.

The expansion of Beddingham Landfill a few years ago was a genuine desecration of the Downs. I believe it was backed by Lewes DC.

No, it makes you someone who does not want an endless stream of trucks rolling down the Ouse valley or smoke billowing up it but has no problem with a community asset being built in a ploughed field next to an A road, a railway and two universities.

Mind you, if the incinerator was built in down town Eastbourne...

That is my take on it. There certainly is a difference between the two? No. But if we are split, then I can't see it working.

I'll refer you to an earlier post of mine on the subject:

"The new incinerator is designed to replace the current, woefully inadequate facility.

A full environmental study will have taken place. The thing will be completely safe, and won't create piss rain and stink of shit (not that you'd notice the difference anyway).

The new building will be further away from residential homes than the Falmer stadium.

It will be the second most aesthaetically pleasing thing in the area, behind only the chavvy sluts that hang around at McDonalds and Denton Corner.

Nobody as yet has come up with a plausible alternative site. (My choice would be to bung all the rubbish on boats and send it to France.)

Above all, Newhaven is already a f***ing DUMP, so is there anywhere MORE suited?"

As for building it Eastbourne, go for it. I'm now situated on Hove seafront, leading the 'Towers YES' campaign.

Steve, you little scamp, how much of this has taken place in public and how much has been stiched up in secret by ESCC and B&H City Council ?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I thought people were more worried about all the lorries thundering past.

The Nimbys have not thought about this one and the ramifications, should it be refused.

Other NIMBYs have.

A few years back, there was a proposal to increase landfill capacity, by developing new sites in the Low Weald, between Lewes and Hailsham.

There was a massive NIMBY campaign against this. I was at a packed public meeting, where Norman Baker argued against the proposals by advocating an alternative.

He suggested an incinerator was the answer.

Curious, eh?

Lord B, is it not the case that Lewes has reached a 16% rate for recycling and composting (against a target of 18%) while Horsham DC and Canterbury CC have reached levels of 30% ?

If the levels of recylingand other waste management were improved across the county then there would be less rationale for the incinerator in the first place.

I still find the idea of endless convoys of lorries trundling along the Ouse valley and the unknown health effects of the incinerator distinctly unappealing.

I do not see how the Community Stadium falls in to the same camp.

I'm sure he would say that he is not against incinerators just not at Newhaven just as he is not against Football Stadiums just not at Falmer!!
