Stop the Incinerator

Fortunately a couple of the new States members are putting a rescission motion in respect of the new incinerator to be built at La Collette.

Apart from the cost the worst aspect of this is the Jersey government are building an outdated polluting monster in the gateway to St. Helier. They have not told the public of the potential health risks from the airborne pollution threat in the prevailing winds which could affect some 55,000 of the population, more than half of Jersey's residents. Even then in the summer the wind turns easterly, south-easterly and north easterly. So for those months the western parishes and St. Aubin's Bay will get their fair share of toxic fall out.

Rather than voting "en bloc" the States members should perhaps look to their conscience. The question of the incinerator should have been the referendum question rather than a spurious question on time change.

What the States have voted for without proper research in to the fallout of toxins is to potentially poison its future.

If it does go ahead maybe the Ramsar designation will be withdrawn.

But I can do no better than to put a link to the Marine Biology Section of the Societe Jersiaise permanently on this site so that anyone can look at it. Also make sure you download the save our shoreline report under the article "La Collette Pollution Issue".
