What is it like to live in the shadow of a £450m waste incinerator?
"I'm not happy with the distance rubbish is coming from, it's getting ridiculous," she says."Landfill is bad, but this is not the alternative," she says.Emma Ashton says some people are for the incinerator while others are not"it's quite an imposing building but it seems like now you don't really see it you don't really hear it," she says. "The only thing is [that] the lorries do back up sometimes.
"I have no problems with it at all, we can't hear it", says Sally Law, who has lived in Stewartby for the past 22 years and whose house is close to incinerator,"I have no gripe with it." "There will always be people against it because there's always people against anything that comes in that's new."A giant grabber picks up the waste inside the plant and moves it to where it will be burntHe did not want the council's rubbish to be sent to the site, but, due to its waste contract with Veolia, its unrecyclable residential waste is sent to Stewartby rather than elsewhere.
"The decision to allow the incinerator to be operated by Covanta was taken by a government quango called the Infrastructure Planning Commission which rode roughshod over the wishes of the local community and elected councillors.
