How you can help stop the incinerator.
Timing is key to objecting so please check here regularly to know dates and action required as the situation unfolds. Please ignore speculation that the fight is over as the councils can no longer afford a thermal treatment plant. The planning process still needs fighting this spring with the related PFI contract decision due in the summer.
NOW - Object in writing to the planning dept quoting reference 09/02430/WAS. Further details in a post below. Help friends, neighbours and family to object. Stay in the loop by either checking this blog, joining Wincham Post on facebook, or email us so we have your email address.
May - To show our strength of feeling we need as many as possible of us to fill the public gallery when the application is decided by the Strategic Planning Committee, generally either in Winsford or Chester. Usually held at 4pm. We will advise when this is as soon as we know, and help co-ordinate transport. Only one or two of us will be able to speak.

Jingle cans, jingle cans, recycle all the way.
ReplyDeleteOh what fun it will be if they don't get their way.
Jingle cans, jingle cans, recycle all the way.
Oh what fun it would be if SID could win the day.
Have you heard the news, a planning application.
RRS it is, blighting our location.
Wagons on country roads, a chimney in the sky.
What a sight it would make, not pleasing on the eye, Oh
(back to top)
(To the tune of when santa got stuck up the chimney)
ReplyDeleteThey plan to put up a chimney
What's it all about
You councillors won't getany votes
until you throw it out
Our heads are clear
it shouldn't be here
George is adamant too
They plan to put up a chimney
It's no, it's no, it's NO!
SID’s Ode to the Planners and Councillors
ReplyDelete(sung to the tune “Wild Rover” –Dubliners & many folk groups c196…!)
We went to a meeting were councillors go
To tell them a waste plant in Wincham is no
And now we’re returning with objections galore
You really should show RRS the door
CHORUS
And it’s no nay never, no nay never no more
Should they build a waste plant here, no never no more
The roads are inadequate that is for sure
With pot holes and S bends they are ever so poor
Wagons’ a plenty will make them much worse
The bill for repair from the council tax purse
CHORUS
Emissions we’re sure will be a source of outrage
With particles and soot they’re unable to gauge
All pumped in the air from a hideous stack
We’re all so against it SID’s on the attack
CHORUS
So council and planners we ask you to note
You need to remember the people who vote
So make sure our children have the chance to play
And kick out this plan with not a moments delay
CHORUS
SID’s PROTEST GOES TO COUNTY HALL
ReplyDeleteMembers of SID (Stop Incineration in Disguise) gave a presentation to members of the strategic planning committee of CWAC on 18 February at county Hall. This was a compelling, fact based presentation illustrating why the majority of the residents of Wincham object to RRS’s planning application for an Incinerator in the village.
This is the first time a local action group has presented to the Strategic Planning Committee.
Said Geoff Eden, chairman of SID, “We gave a factual, well researched, informative presentation, which has hopefully given the Strategic Planning Committee significant food for thought. Despite reports in the Northwich Guardian stating that Cheshire West and Chester Council is reviewing the PFI situation, this review will probably take place after the planning application is considered. Consequently we have to continue to fight to prevent the prospect of an Incinerator being sited in our village.”
