Transport of toxic fly ash

Mansfield to where?

The transport of thousands of tonnes of toxic fly ash by lorry also raises concerns - what route will those lorries take? Of course, the immediate vicinity are likely to suffer most from that (dust created whilst loading vehicles, etc.). Then there's the question of where will the hazardous landfill site be for burying this toxic waste!? It's ironic really: their policy is to reduce landfill but although the volume of landfill is reduced they will create perhaps 2000 - 9000 tonnes of extremely toxic fly ash landfill every year! Plus the toxic (but less so) bottom ash landfill. So the landfill area will probably be more toxic than traditionally.
