Text of Petition
A new incinerator is
planned to be built in CF3 on Newlands Road, Wentloog Cardiff. This is in very
close proximity to homes & schools. For example it is only 500 meters away
from Eastern High School. Many residences and other schools within the CF3 are
also well within a 1/2-mile radius of it.
The planned incinerator
will burn 200,000 tonnes of industrial waste per year and will operate 24/7. It
is planned to be built as early as 2020/21.
The industrial waste to be
burned will be transported to the planned site using 80 lorries everyday each
carrying 20 tonnes of waste. The toxic ash generated by the incinerator will
also need to be transported away.
The size of the planned
site is 1.5 rugby pitches in size with the main building being over 40 meters
in height and the chimney stack being over 70 meters in height. We believe this
incinerator is not what residents of CF3 want in their community.
We believe this will
generate noise, air pollution, traffic and will not be good for the health of
those living in the CF3 community.
