| Good News – On 7th March Harrogate Borough Council approved unanimously a resolution to condemn the Amey Cespa proposal and asking for it to be called in for a public inquiry |
| Still time to object |
| You can still object to the incinerator. We have – see here!
The original deadline for objections was 16th December. But the law says that any planning meeting must take account of ALL correspondence up to the date of the meeting. This means you can still object – see below to see what objections you can make and where to make them. The NYWAG team have put in a tremendous amount of time and effort. We employed the best consultants where needed and put in nearly 300 pages of initial objection. This has been followed up with further comments since then. The full objections are available here. The Parish Councils have been working equally hard and their objections are available at www.marton-cum-grafton.org |

This campaign is not associated with anyone encouraging personal confrontation. All correspondence from NYWAG is sent out from Steve Wright, NYWAG or steve@nywag.org. NYWAG’s policy is to act reasonably to persuade the council and others (and the public inquiry when we get it) that this is an unnecessary and costly proposal for which there are much cheaper, greener alternatives. We do not encourage confrontation – anyone who does so is not associated with NYWAG. |
