WATCH PARMJIT'S SPEECH IN PARLIAMENT AGAINST THE TORY INCINERATOR

Gloucester MP Parmjit Dhanda spoke in a recent debate in Parliament against the Tory council's proposals for an incinerator on the edge of Gloucester.

Parmjit called for the debate following the recent announcement by the County Council that it has purchased land at javelin Park near Quedgeley for a major waste facility. The incinerator could be ten storeys tall and could be capable of buring 160,000 tonnes of waste each year.

PARMJIT SPEAKS OUT AGAINST INCINERATOR

"To say that I was disappointed by the council’s recent announcement that it has purchased land at Javelin Park for an incinerator is an understatement.

For over a year I, along with community activists, have been campaigning in opposition to the council’s incinerator plans. We have been joined by thousands of local residents. Throughout, the council have refused to take responsibility for their plans, claiming they are being cajoled into this by the government – something Minister’s have refuted. This decision is local. Their announcement has revealed the truth – they want to build an incinerator at Javelin Park."

TORY PPC DEAFENINGLY SILENT

The recent announcement by the Tory County Council that land has been bought at Javelin Park for an incinerator has been met with deep disappointment by residents from across the City. Yet the Tory PPC for Gloucester, Richard Graham, remains as silent as ever.

Not once has the Tory PPC spoken out against incineration in Gloucester.

Why won’t the Tory candidate challenge his friends on the County Council on an issue of such importance? Why does he continue to put the plans of the Cotswold cavalry ahead of the needs of City residents?

Incinerator Petition

Petition against the giant incinerator in Gloucester

We the undersigned call on the County Council not to build a giant incinerator in Gloucester capable of burning 160,000 tonnes of waste a year as an alternative to landfill, contrary to their manifesto promises not to introduce incinerators, and instead look at other methods of disposal.

The Conservative County Council have purchased land at Javelin Park in Quedgely for their waste site.
