Liberal Democrats Campaign against a Waste Incinerator in Suffolk
Petition
We call for a public inquiry on these potential incinerators, so that there is a fair chance for residents in Suffolk to have their say!
We are concerned that waste incinerators;
- Are harmful to health
- Undermine efforts to recycle
- Contribute significantly to CO2 emissions which runs counter to the Greenest County ambitions.
- Burn rare resources which cannot be recovered.
- Tie Suffolk County Council and any successor authority into a 30 year contract.
- Need a constant volume of waste to burn, with the result that large quantities of waste will need to be imported from other parts of the country in order to make up the volume.
These we believe are essential reasons for opposing an incinerator in Suffolk. If you support our cause, please fill in the e-Petition form below.
