Numerous labour and environmental groups brought up all these issues to our regional government but still they are forging ahead. In my opinion it seems puzzeling how popular this company remains with decision makers despite its glarring record? Keep up the fight!

Once again a massive incinerator is planned (around 3 times the capacity of the Crymlyn Burrows plant) near homes and families. I am disgusted to see that once again the company behind the scheme has a crap track record. Oh, and dioxins know no boundaries, so it's not just he Merthyr people who will suffer. The legacy of incineration will hang around for ever..... and for everyone. Incineration is the lazy peoples' answer to waste 'management'. And by the way, the plant will STINK!!!! The operators of the Crymlyn Burrows plant can't stop it from smelling. Even using the most hi-tech odour suppressants etc. Their answer? Blame it on other industry in the area (namely the landfill site, 2 miles away). Keep up the fight, Merthyr. I hope you win. I feel so sorry for the Merthyr residents.
