By Gina Bebbington »
PLANS for a fourth incinerator in Cheshire have been announced.
Proposals for an energy from waste plant are being prepared for a site at Midpoint 18 in Middlewich - just five miles away from a proposed site in Lostock Gralam.
Cheshire residents are also fighting proposals for incinerators at Weston Point, in Runcorn, and Ince Marshes.
A public exhibition about the Middlewich proposal will be taking place at Middlewich Community Church, in Brooks Lane, from 2pm to 9pm on February 21 and 22, and from 10am to 3pm on February 23.
What do you think about proposals for a fourth incinerator in Cheshire?

This is outrageous. The southerners have landed this on us because they wont put there precious incinerators where they live. I say we need to fight more, petitions will be ignored. Don't let the government damage your life. If they want an incinerator, build it where they live, not in someone elses back garden.

Nathaniel Harwood is mistaken if he thinks that incinerators are a northern issue as Sita wish to build one at Capel, Surrey and Capel Action Group have booked Dr Dick van Steenis to speak at a public meeting on the health effects on 5 Feb 2008.
The Surrey Mirror and Dorking Advertiser have both printed maps showing elevated infant mortality rates in electoral wards downwind of incinerators at Kirklees, Coventry and Edmonton.
Your local papers should print ward maps showing the existing pattern of infant deaths in Cheshire before another incinerator makes matters worse.
You also need a public meeting where a medically-qualified doctor can explain matters.

Cheshire Council again appear determined to disregard advice and successful models set by other councils and take the easy solution to waste management. Perhaps the following might galvanise the local residents to at least make a effort to come together to fight these damaging plans to build a incinerator in the heart of a residential community.
"Air emissions from waste incinerators have been positively identified as
a cause of cancer and other health damage in humans."
6.7 increase in the likelihood of mortality from lung cancer.
2 fold increased probability of cancer mortality in children.
37% excess mortality due to liver cancer.
"Studies of the communities living in the vicinity (0.5km to 5km) of
municipal solid waste incinerators have shown elevated levels of dioxins in
blood samples compared to background population levels.
"Nitrogen Oxides : A by product of the process of burning waste have
respiratory effects (and is a pre-cursor of ozone, which also contributes to
respiratory problems)
Sulphur Oxides : A by product of the process of burning waste also have
respiratory effects
Particulates: Cause respiratory effects and there is no known safe
threshold
Dioxins: Class 1 Carcinogen (as TCDD). Affects development and
reproduction Highly Toxic, persistent, bio accumulative. Can contaminate
the food chain
Developmental impacts: Birth-defects, foetal death, impaired neurological,
development and subsequent cognitive defects, altered sexual
development.
As the results from these studies are wildly available it does make you consider what our elected representatives consider sound advice.
