Minister challenged over refusal to call in Plymouth incinerator plans

“What's wrong with the incinerator? I think it should be built as it will create jobs, and stimulate the local economy. The only people who oppose it are those on benefits who don't ever want to work.”

“Remember the Navy has no other choice unless they want to spend millions of pounds to scrap nuclear submarines somewhere else but to undertake the work in Devonport, it is not going to produce many jobs for Plymouth, defueling team of about 20, Babcock and Navy experts about 100 none living in Plymouth, therefor give them the option, remove the incinerator from their land pay for the contract broken, then they can scrap their submarines at a price for Plymouth.”

“Residential properties at Talbot Gardens, Barne Barton are within 65 metres of the site. 450 residential properties lie within the MoD designated 250 metre radius danger zone; the MoD made sure the siting of this incinerator was a far away from dockyard infrastructure as possible. Thus as a consequence at least 450 innocent civilians will be in the danger zone; all before the affects to the entire city and beyond are considered.

Thanks a bunch Eric 'double standard as well as double helpings' Pickles!

What a disgrace!”

“Ms Seabeck says houses are within 150 metres of the plant - the petition suggests 60 metres. Which is correct?”

“The last time Mr Pickles was in Plymouth he was met with a welcoming party consisting of local protesters which he completely ignored. I wonder if he'd be more susceptible to listen if Oliver Colvile objected. It's a shame the plant isn't near Oliver Colvile's house, I'm sure it would be immediately called in then.”

“One would have thought Mr Pickles and noted there are clear national implications that of security....being less then 500 meters as the crow flies from a nuclear dump and the nations nuclear deterrent. How can you have a secure Naval Base with an explosive asset directly opposite....Is this why crown immunity still allows Government to overrule local democracy?”

“I have attempted to create an e-petition to debate whether the strength of feeling within Plymouth is really against the Incinerator. The Petition is to ask Mr Pickles to apply the same standards with the Plymouth incinerator that he has applied to the Norfolk incinerator. Will post a link if it is approved.”
