Everest said:Yes or no to the incinerator? That's the burning question.
*off to work*
Words of wisdom.Lord Bracknell said: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.
Safeway said:Surely if you are pro-Falmer but anti-incinerator that makes you not only a NIMBY but a hypocrite?
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...
Safeway said: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.
Other NIMBYs have.BarrelofFun said: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.
Lord Bracknell said: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?
