Veolia Plan to import an extra 15000 tonnes of waste to Bernard Road Incinerator

The 15,000 tonnes is coming from an extended catchment area from as far as Mansfield, Newark and Derbyshire Dales. Join the campaign to stop this insanity by objecting individually to the application to show the strength of feeling in Sheffield and beyond that objects to the incinerator and all it entails.

By e-mailing To: Howard Baxter e-mail:  planningapps@sheffield.gov.uk with the reference number Ref no: 12/03137/FUL

Green Party councillor Jillian Creasy objects on the grounds of the environmental impact from the increase in HGV traffic, and strangely said this in a statement on the Sheffield and Rotherham Green Party web site

"I am not opposed in principle to importing waste to make up the shortfall in waste arising in Sheffield"

Surely the problem is we're producing too much waste, there is no "shortfall in waste" in Sheffield.
