What is council going to do for Sinfin residents?
IT seems the proposed incinerator plant to be built in Sinfin is to go ahead, despite the protests of residents. I am unlucky enough to live within 100 yards of the allocated site and can only imagine the chaos this is going to cause on the roads in this area.
Sinfin Lane already has factories, industrial sites, a transport yard and Rolls-Royce, all within a small area. The noise levels of traffic are already at an unacceptable level.
Will the council be helping private property owners with new double glazing to keep out the noise? Will they be compensating them for the devaluation of their properties?
I think all homeowners in the area ought to be asking these questions and seeking legal advice, as I fully well intend to.

It may be the council will be bankrupt if they do not go ahead with the site, but whose fault is that? Perhaps it would have been judicious if they had listened to the opinion of the local people.
There are many other sites where this plant could have been located, Raynesway being one of them. Would the residents of places like Mickleover or Allestree want it on their doorsteps? I don't think so.
So why should Sinfin become the dumping ground?

“I would not like this incinerator to go anywhere. Our food is grown in the countryside and populated or unpopulated there is no place or need for an incinerator. If politicians could just work up the courage to stand up to companies and tell them we do not want products that are not recyclable the problem of most of our waste would disappear. We have legislated against slavery, child labour, DDT, asbestos to name a few so why can't we legislate against products that are not recycle?”

“So here we have a Sinfin resident proposing that Alvaston that has fought along with Spondon to stop this be a good place for it. Alvaston is according to statistics a deprived area, it also has a poor air quality rating, suffers from congestion and high traffic levels. Now Helen Jones proposes to make our pollution worse by adding an incinerator (which we had for many years affecting our health) to our problems. We do not need this as Derby has one of the best recycling records in the country. If it is built then it should be well away from houses in a disused quarry (proposed land fill) site where the pollution can disperse before coming into contact with houses and a populated area. Councillors Bayliss and Winter won votes on the back of objecting to this. now we see the hypocrites they are, can we take legal action for breach of contract?”

“Council Officers have already admitted that PFI is only way that the councils can afford this incinerator and that it is actually cheaper to do nothing then it is to built an incinerator using PFI, it is in fact the most expensive option. So this story that not having an incinerator will bankrupt the council is just not true. There is a city in the USA called Harrisburg in Pensylvania where the city is bankrupting because of it's incinerator, but to date I have never heard of a city that has bankrupted because it does not have an incinerator”

“The incinerator is not needed - we only need to deal with the biodegradable element of the waste and we are already treating biodegradable waste in this county through reuse, recycling and composting - all higher treatments than incineration. Everyone is being conned, including the council
