County Council Contradictions

In the post below (County Council admits) you'll see some of the Council's own policies on environmental protection. Now count how many of their own policies the Council contradicts by proposing a 180,000 tonne waste incinerator in Mansfield.

Which of the following issues apply?
  • Too close to residents - toxic dust, noise, smell, vermin, HGVs, ...
  • Visual intrusion (e.g. 300ft chimney)
  • Pollution of underground water source
  • Degradation of ancient Sherwood Forest (acid rain?)
In addition to the above is the largely ignored air pollution issue, and its significant impact on human health!
