Plant not wanted on doorstep

LETTER: Once again the biomass plant has reared its ugly head with very little change, but the usual nonsense about benefits to Bishop's Castle of cheaper electricity.

LETTER: Once again the biomass plant has reared its ugly head with very little change, but the usual nonsense about benefits to Bishop's Castle of cheaper electricity.

The electricity is going into the grid so we will continue to pay the same to the electricity companies as anyone else.

Cutting carbon dioxide emissions, with extra lorries and burning 24/7, I think not - and I wonder where this generated fund for the town has suddenly come from. It was never mentioned before.

I would also like to draw attention to the fact that there is a big sign which states the area is a business park.

The difference may be subtle, but we were not concerned about businesses or warehouses bringing potential work and finance to the area.

We are worried that an "incinerator" burning non-stop in a valley known to have an inversion atmospheric condition will damage the area in which Mr J Evans does not live.

He doesn't want it on his doorstep and neither do we.
