INCINERATOR: GILBERT CALLS FOR PUBLIC INQUIRY

May 18, 2007 9:00 PM

Energy from WasteStephen Gilbert has supported calls for a public inquiry to look at health concerns and the 'single site solution' for the proposed Energy from Waste plant in mid-Cornwall.

Following a meeting of the St Dennis Incinerator Group on Friday 18th May, Stephen Gilbert said: "There is clear public concern over the possible health effects of an Energy from Waste plant in the middle of Cornwall - as well as continuing uncertainty that a 'one-site' solution is the best option."

"I'm no scientist, but I do believe that all the arguments need to be properly tested and a public inquiry is the most open way to do that."

"Both the cost and time involved in a public inquiry have already been accounted for, and I'm urging Ministers to get on with it sooner rather than later."

    If you are a resident of the St Austell and Newquay constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
