Clearly everyone who fought the Covanta proposal will be deeply disappointed and angry to learn that despite overwhelming local and national opposition the IPC have imposed the monster incinerator on the Marston Vale.
Marston Moreteyne Action Group and others are studying the IPC decision:

MMAG initial response is that the IPC consent came with conditions which we will ensure are met. Of course the Environment Agency are yet to give its approval and to date Covanta have no significant customers so the economics of the incinerator still don’t stack up.
What You Can Do
Central Beds Council are requesting their legal advisors examine the IPC process with a fine toothcomb for a possible non adherence to the process, in order that they can instigate a judicial review. If you felt that the IPC were obstructive or that the process failed in some way. Please email your comments to [email protected].
If you would like MMAG to keep a record of your comments for others to view– please add them to http://mmetag.wordpress.com/covanta-proposal/ipc-process-comments-page/. Your email details will not be shown and if you wish you could mark your comments as ‘Local Resident’ if you do not want your name published.
Campaign Posters and Information Leaflets are still available on the MMAG website http://mmetag.wordpress.com/home/downloads/ and also the on-line petition is still open at http://www.gopetition.co.uk/petitions/stop-covanta-building-an-efw-incinerator-plant.html
