StewkleyGreen are alarmed about the carcinogenic fall out and carbon footprint of a new
incinerator proposed by Bucks CC at Edgecott near Bicester, WSW of Stewkley so we are in the
high fallout area for dioxins and other pollutants.
Incinerators account for 52% of the UK´s
dioxins pollution.
The 96m high chimney will ensure the pollution will reach Stewkley in significant amounts. It will also be an eyesore across Aylesbury Vale as it is one and a half
times higher than the Bucks CC office in Aylesbury.
Following concerns raised by StewkleyGreen Stewkley Parish Council wrote a reasoned
letter to Bucks CC.
This was rejected by return as follows:-
Thank you for your letter from Stewkley Parish Council. Whilst I clearly don't agree
with the points you have made, I respect your opinion and will pass the comments to the
relevant officers so that my fellow cabinet members are made aware of them.
Regards Martin Tett
