Waste Treatment Plant at Ernesettle dropped

I have been campaigning for almost two years on this issue and therefore welcome this decision.  It has been a long campaign but one which has fired local people to action and the establishment of STIFLE to really take the bull by the horns and press the case was an important step on the way to getting Ernesettle taken out of the equation.   We now have to take the battle forward for Weston Mill and need to ensure that local people's view are heard and that they have full access to all the facts - both for and against the plant being based in the Yard.  The voice of local residents must be heard.

Alison, MP for Plymouth Devonport said that the scrapping of Ernesettle was welcome but that the site at North Yard was not. “We need the widest possible consultation on this issue. The voice of local residents must be heard.”

Local Councillors have also joined in the condemenation. Cllr Bill Stevens (Devonport) said he thought that the site would bring benefits to the owners of the site but not to local people. Cllr Ian Gordon immediately despatched letters to hundreds of households in Weston Mill who would be directly affected
