Help stop this proposed Anaerobic Digester plant from going ahead here in our lovely market town.

Within the recognized "stink zone" of 1 km there are 4 schools, a pre-school nursery, a nursing home, our rugby and cricket fields, two small food-producing companies and half the houses and shops of Whitchurch!
 
There are huge problems throughout the UK with the food-fed ADs because of the all-pervading smell they give off 24/7 including the ones at Cannock, Rothwell, Cannington, Plymouth, Cumbernauld and Farington.  And not far from us at Harper Adams University the digester has collapsed twice causing massive digestate discharge covering the road, fields and polluting the river and two boreholes contaminating water supplies.

We do not want  to suffer the smell or the inherent threats to local wildlife from seepage and spillage.  The applicant, which is a huge coldstore and warehousing company, is prepared to put our Town at risk for the sake of the massively subsidised AD  rather than pay Scottish Power to upgrade the electricity supply required for its industrial expansion.  The Environment Agency has already said that the Company should look for a different site but the local planning Committee is nevertheless prepared to support the application!

There is a website set up with full details. WWW.whitchurchad525.co.UK

Help protect our market town. Thankyou
