Lanarkshire protestors ask you to write to your
MSP, asking them to support a Motion calling for review of incinerator policy,
5 September 2011 Dear All The Motion below was submitted today my Margaret Mitchell MSP, please note that it asks for a review of the policy on incinerators. Perhaps you could ask your MSPs' to consider supporting the motion. Take Care Ann That the Parliament notes with concern the development of waste services in North Lanarkshire; understands that North Lanarkshire is already home to Europe’s largest capacity landfill site as well as four other smaller landfill sites and will be the site of the Drumshangie incinerator which it believes will burn 300,000 tonnes of waste per year; further understands that the approved Drumshangie project is four times the size of the proposed Carnbroe plant and that, if the latter was approved, the two incinerators would have the capacity to burn 450,000 tonnes of waste per year; considers that there are inconsistencies in the criteria for the refusal of the Carnbroe plant and the approval of the Drumshangie incinerator; further considers that a review of the policy regarding waste disposal and incinerators would be welcome with a view to encouraging reuse and recycling as a priority over the construction of incinerators, and welcomes the efforts of local community and organisations such as the North Airdrie Joint Community Group and Greengairs Community Council in supporting recycling and reuse programmes.
