STOP THE 100,000 TONNE A YEAR INCINERATOR IN CHADDERTON

Cllr Mark Alcock has sent a letter and petition form to all the houses in the South and Central Chadderton wards alerting people to the potential plan for an 100,000 tonne a year 'Energy from Waste Plant' (incinerator) behind Lidl and McDonalds off Broadway on the site of the Rugby Mill and surrounding land.

Today 13th October 2009 at a meeting of the Joint Committee today members were advised that a revised plan has now been submitted by the landowners.

The site has been reinstated in consultation proposals put forward as part of the Greater Manchester Waste Joint Development Plan.

Legal advice had also been received stating that it would be inconsistent with established procedures to refuse to seek public views on the proposal.

A formal consultation period is now set to run from November 13, 2009, until January 8, 2010.
