At the end of 2018 I discovered proposals to build a mass waste incineration plant in Belvedere. Right on the banks of the Thames opposite Rainham.I am vehemently opposed to these plans.
I’m also incredibly concerned about the impact this development would have on air quality in Rainham and South Hornchurch; across the marshes, the village and all across the London Riverside Opportunity Area.
The Greater London Authority have said ‘incineration of solid waste can lead to emissions that are detrimental to human health and biodiversity.’ And that ‘these impacts would be widespread across Rainham.’
I don’t want the quality of life in the south of my constituency marred by poor air as a result of a Tory approved waste incineration plant.
If you feel the same, sign my petition against the proposal on my website: https://joncruddas.org.uk/belvedere-incinerator-petition
