“What a waste of time and effort even daring to say that the public who have to live with this blight ( and that is what it is ) have a right to say what should and should not be done in their own local, and what effects their children and grandchildren. How dare they !.”

“@nothalf

Don't you think it more of a discourteous presumption than an argument? It seems to sit alongside the 'one size fits all' habitual argumentalist approach such as 'all students take drugs' or 'everyone in Barne barton deserves an incinerator' rather than considering reason, objective argument, facts or the feelings for those will be severely affected by this development.

Personally, I feel the people of plymouth have every reason to be be incensed by the way in which their council has allowed 2 out of 3 truckloads of waste to be imported from all over Devon and beyond, to be burned in amongst people in one of the most deprived areas of the city.

I think it scandalous that the German contractor will not be checking the waste or recycling any of it, and that their sister incinerator has been guilty of massive toxic mercury and other noxious releases into the local atmosphere as a result of taking in heavily contaminated industrial waste.

In that context, I suppose it is quite reasonable to headline this article as a 'last chance'.”

“@nothalf
I guess you're right actually. Well pointed out.”

“GreenGom - I'm sorry but I didn't see my opinion as an insult but maybe yours were intended as an insult. Depends how sensitvie you are to comments and opinions.

Yes it is an opnion but maybe some are more informed so opinions are substantiated.

If you aren't interested and think this won't affect you why not just comment on another topic...but of course this is a forum so you are entitled to comment and so am I and whoever WinstonSmith0 is”

“@green thats not an opinion its an arguement”

“LHPlymouth
The insults are a bit necessary when I am as equally entitled to an opinion as you are. My opinion just happens to differ from yours. Do you know a chap called Winstonsmith? He resorts to insults when in disagreement with people too.”

“GreenGom - its great to know you care for your community and the people who live in it. Keep up the good 'head in the sand' work.

Its not over yet so its not a 'last chance'.

I'm glad I know people who do care and who are willing to fight this. I'd rather be associated with them than those who have no interest or compassion with what goes on under their noses in the name of so called democracy, fairness and transparency.

You may not be interested, although you should be, in the issue of the incinerator or the proposed location but this along with the airport closure, sale of citybus, building of a life centre for which will not all will be able to use and many other diabolical decisions by PCC just highlights how those voted to represent you have no interest whatsoever.

When something so very wrong is going to be plonked on your doorstep maybe you might start 'droning' and you'd have every right to just like we do but at least we are doing something positive.”

“Although the headline states "Last chance" we all know some people will drone on about it ad infinitum.”

“chrisplym0000 - no you are certainly not an expert and neither am I but I have done more research than you obviously have.

Firstly it is not just Barne Barton that will suffer from this facility - there are hundreds of homes that are privately owned in very close proximity and we are not of the type you describe - maybe you are familiar with them yourself. I'd hasten to add that not everyone in Barne Barton is as you deem them to be and I would think Barratt Homes who are selling the new houses being built in Barne Barton would not be too happy to hear your comments. You want to try paying a damn sight more than £350 per month for your home and then having this plonked at the bottom of your garden - and before you say 'move' I can tell you for a fact that houses are not selling here due to this showing up on searches and people are pulling out - they don't want to live near it either.
Its not just about the emissions - and how come you know them to be safe when world organisations are still doing research at this moment-maybe you should phone them and tell them you know more then they do. Read up before you make sweeping statements.
I don't smoke but just because someone else does doesn't make this ok.
Whatever people's stature no one deserves this on their doorstep - it is the wrong location and being sold on the fact of reducing the Dockyards energy bill. This will NOT secure the existance of the Dockyard, nor will it make one iota of a reduction to anyone in Plymouth's council tax bills. This about a German company making a profit and getting a foot in the UK door - that's what they wanted and that's what they are getting.
More people are employed by the university and associated businesses.
The construction will be approximately 300 jobs but not all at the same time and in the end there is talk of approximately 43 jobs of which 18 will be from the local area.
A recycling centre could have employed more people, been more beneficial and been more accepted - something that will, in 15 years, still have a significant, major, adverse effect (not my words) where I live is not acceptable- why do you think I should think it is?

The rest of Plymouth is allegedly having cleaner, nice developments. This is a divided city with one side being continually dumped upon whilst PCC produces documents claiming to be promoting a healthier city and closing the inequality gaps...not in the west of Plymouth.
This site is NOT in the Dockyard, nor is it Devonport.
Would you want it 62 metres from your lounge window?”

“"This is pure speculation o2_lover. We don't know how many long-term jobs will be created! If Scotland goes independent, the active submarines could come to Plymouth.

I am pretty sure, that option has been removed due to costs. I believe it's to do with the storage of nuclear warheads.

Smoking does more harm than steam out of waste incinerator."

I tend to be a bit more cautious about that statement. I would have no problem if it was just steam.Studies about the effects on health are still ongoing and all those nasty little toxic particles have to go somewhere. No need to put it near people. They wont have any choice unlike those who decide to smoke.

I am not totally anti dockyard but if they make commercial decisions that are deliberately having a negative effect on the rest of the population then its time to say enough is enough.”
