We've been betrayed

“A little knowledge is dangerous...”

“7 Tory councillors voted for the wretched incinerator (John Lock, Lynda Bowyer, Tom Browne, Nigel Churchill, Edward Delbridge, Wendy Foster, Kenneth Foster) and 5 labour voted against it.
That means it was a 7-5 close run thing and it's crazy that such an important matter should hinge on just 2 votes.
Perhaps the not-so-magnificent seven would care to tell us why they thought gassing the population of Pymouth and imposing convoys of heavy rubbish lorries on them would be a good thing?
I”

“Irene61 please, please, please do your homework.
The incinerator is being built with PFI funding from DEFRA to the tune of £95m at todays values or £177m over the life of the project.
This to be paid back by future generations like a giant credit card.

MVV Umwelt can apply to have a licence to burn low level nuclear waste if they wish to.

As you have access to a computer do your own research, the facts are there for all to see”

“Siting the incinerator there also indicates that MVV are about to use a ship to dump the ash at sea, and most of the rubbish will arrive the same way.”

“They will realise how dangerous it is when our future babies are born with two heads and looking the colour of Elphaba, the witch in Wicked. You only have to watch the Simpsons to see the dangers. Homer works in a nuclear power plant and look how many accidents there have been there.
But Mr Merriott, they wouldn't let me vote in the elections as I am insane.”

“sorry - was meant to say makes a joke of the already complicated planning documents and procedures.”

“Oh irene61 time and time again how misinformed you appear to be....
Do you honestly think you will get a reduction in your tax bill?
Who has to pay for the PFI funding - yes, the taxpayer!
I predict this will go over budget (as Exeter's has) and there will be many more changes and variations to come as there has been already which makes a joke of the already .
The main - and only people - to make money will be MVV

Of course there is not a nuclear risk with the incinerator itself however the citing of it NEXT to a Naval Base with nuclear powered sub and HMS Ocean, Albion, Bulwark etc berthed next to it surely must raise the issue of security plus safety for local people and in fact all of Plymouth..something that beggars belief that has been dismissed. Can we be sure of what is put into it?

Whether it is legal or not is another matter - after all the judge in Cardiff AGREED with the point of law that was challenged but then bizarrely voted in favour of PCC/MVV. All along the powers that be have wheedled their way out of what should have been stopped. The problem lies in the fact that all the 'agencies' are Government controlled and its about time we had proper independent people working for us.

The fight against this is not over and yes, we can look to appeal to other bodies especially regarding the lack of concern for those who are already directly affected by this never mind in years to come how it will affect the rest of you healthwise and also your back pockets.
If you have been following and are involved in this you will know how so very, very wrong so much of this is on many levels.

I find it so sad B Merriott that no one 'has the small round things used in tennis' to actually stand up and speak out other than the 'little' people. There are many who could but they all hide whilst knowing full well what they have passed on to Plymuth as a legacy...some have already baled out.

Shameful!”

“Whether you like it or not, it's not illegal. They tried legal challenges in court, they failed.”

“the main people to make money are local taxpayers who will gain 100's of millions of pounds in lower taxes - there is no nuclear risk with this scheme”
