SIR – As a concerned resident within the Bowling Back Lane area I am concerned the proposed incinerator on this site will reduce even further the value of housing within a two-mile radius of the site and cause health risks due to the hazardous chemicals and emissions from its chimney.

Further concerns are the heavy traffic movements to Bowling on a daily and weekly basis, as there has not been any figures issued.

The cost of this project – £300 million over 25 years – would treble or even more in that period of time, and what alternatives have been agreed to dispose of waste if there is a major breakdown or fire?

Very concerned.
