Chineham re-visited

On 21 July, 2010, Miriam Walton and Alan Goater visited Chineham incinerator on a day when VIPs from Shropshire (or elsewhere) were not expected. This is what we saw:

1) Green waste being delivered to the incinerator

OK, we know it's supposed to be a 'sorting station' but what's your bet......??




2) The smoke plume. It can ground anywhere within about 15 miles of Chineham but usually they ground within a couple of miles. The prevailing wind is S-Westerly and there is a nursery school about 1/4 of a mile N-E of the incinerator.






3) the sheer massive size and ugliness of this 'state of the art' facility





4)The visual impact of the
incinerator and how it dominates parts of the village of Chineham
