Rejected petition Rethink the site location for an Incinerator at Shelton Road Corby
Corby is to get anywhere up to 4 CHP facilities according to The Northamptonshire Local Waste Plan, one of the sites at Shelton road Corby is right next door to a new housing estate with schools etc and also near CBA (Corby Business Academy) where our brightest youngsters are studying.
More details
The EfW industry is an explosive one with numerous accounts of plants exploding causing death and injury to workers and others nearby, the incineration of waste is near the bottom of the waste hierarchy for a reason, it's unsustainable, explosive, harmful to the environment and local communities and doesn't form part of a circular economy...to build one of these near an already existing housing estate with schools etc is just madness, the whole of the Northamtonshire Waste Plan needs re-assessed.
