SID and George at the pub

Our local MP, George Osborne, met up with SID at the Black Greyhound. We gave him feedback from the public meeting and shared photos with him of the evening, which thanks to you all, was amazing. He offered his total support, will do whatever he can to help and is now an honoury SID!
Other help we need at the moment is finding a highways consultant. Can anyone point us in the direction of one?

SID would like Cheshire to strive for the 70% recycling rate achieved by two other councils

See  Rochford and South Oxfordshire 

Not sure how motivated RRS would be as a partner helping Cheshire go from our current 47% to 70%. It is also very hard to make sense of this quote "RRS’s solution sits alongside the Council’s continued efforts to encourage people to reduce, reuse and recycle waste." They only pull out 5%  of the 200,000 tonnes pa to recycle. If some councils can recycle 70% now imagine how high that figure could be before the 25 year contract with RRS expires. We are not allowed to see details of the £850 million contract so hard to compare costs per tonne to recycle v burning, or to see if we would pay less to RRS if our household waste dropped to 100,000 tonnes per year. Would they scale down the plant, or would they import rubbish from outside to burn here?

Come to SIDs big night tonight

Public Meeting jointly organised with Wincham Parish Council.
Concerned about the RRS Waste Plant proposal? Hear the arguments against it. Help to oppose it.
7.30pm tonight at Northwich Victoria Stadium
Guest speaker Cllr Arnold Woolley Director of Zero Waste Alliance and member of Global Alternatives to Incineration Alliance.

Come and have your say. Please don't leave it to someone else, we need to publicly show our strength of feeling!

Map of area most likely affected by pollution fallout. HGV routes also marked

All the areas above are at risk of pollution from the RRS plant.  Obviously places to the north and east will experience a greater share due to the prevailing winds.
Seven days a week massive HGVs will be bringing ALL household waste from west, east and south Cheshire. Arriving from the Waste Transfer Stations at Ellesmere Port, Macclesfield and Crewe. Additionally the refuse trucks for Middlewich, Northwich and Winsford will go direct to Wincham, most of them via Lostock.
All of these additional movements along the A559 is totally unacceptable as it is already marked as a high risk collision route, the 6th most dangerous road in Cheshire.
