Hi there
I received our local freebie Times & Citizen this morning and found this article on the front page on the links below. I see this 'plan' has been thought about for years now away back as far as 2007 so it is nothing new at all. An proposed 'monstrous' incinerator proposal to be built at Rookery Pit, Stewartby, Bedford. http://www.bedfordlibdems.org.uk/en/...nt-incinerator http://www.bedfordshire-news.co.uk/N...rator-plan.htm Marston Vale is a place close to my heart due to my many visits to the reserve - along with Castle Sluice and Paxton Pitts (I am a member of this Reserve now) I feel a certain sense of why is this happening to my area - or not on my front door as many say on here What I do not understand is that the mentioned area is going to be transformed into a large reserve joining many local areas together from Paxton Pits, Castle Mill Sluice, Priory Park, to Marston Vale itself. It is a community based issue at hand here. Why on earth would anyone consider a large incinerator in an area where there is a 'current' nature reserve. Many bird species/wildlife will be affected because of this monstrosity at our doorstep. Maybe I am over-reacting but I am feeling annoyed that there seems to be little concern for the area at all. The general feeling I get from reading the article is that the government are looking for anywhere rather than somewhere suitable to the facility.
I am sure that the moderators have heard about this already through them being local to the area, and they will receive the same free papers as I do.
Anyway I will get off my soapbox now, and I would love to hear peoples views about this. Regards Kathy and Dave
Hi Nicola
Thank you for your post here
I will post the information in your post to my other forums tomorrow - as it will boost up the number of people who are not happy with the prospect.
It is like everything new in life it creates a lot of mistrust with the government, and that is understandable if the information about the proposed Kings Lynn Incinerator is to go by. It makes for 'dark' reading.
Regards
Kathy and Dave

I am a member of quite a few myself and have posted with the MMAG website link on all the big bird and wildlife forums (including the RSPB) several times before- especially during the IPC registration period. The decision process via the IPC will still be a long one so it is still important to keep as many people informed as possible. The forum posts seem to be quite hit and miss to how many people read and because there is so many - they are quickly harder to find on the main pages. The best thing on any posts would be to encourage anybody who is interested to sign up for regular email updates via the website at www.mmetag.com.
