Stop the Whitehill, Hamilton, Blantyre and Bothwell Pollution Incenerator

Merry Christmas and a Happy New to you all !

After a well deserved short break from the campaign over the Christmas period, the group awoken to continue the fight to have the Whitehill incinerator scraped.

It is not acceptable that a plant of this nature is being built within a housing scheme, only 80 odd metres from a site which houses around 10 families and 3 schools within around 1000m.
Pollution from this plant will rain down on our children daily as it will be burning 24/7 and to keep it going there will be around 120 bin lorries bringing unrecyclable waste to be zapped, meaning that we would be taking waste from England as its tucked conveniently just off the M74 from Carlisle, this type of plant has not been tested and must be stopped.


I have started this new year with the resolution to fight and give as much as I can to prevent this plant being built on my doorstep, we do not take this lightly and a huge burden will be over our shoulders we will strive to educate the community and to help them see that we can only win this fight if we stand together united.

The next stage will be when the application to build the plant is with SEPA at that point we will be all go to try and get as many people in the surrounding areas to raise objection to the running of this incinerator so close to housing and within 600metres of St Paul's Primary School and nursery.


 We united will make a firmer stance in 2016 and say No the incinerator, and pledge to have this stopped for the health and wellbeing of our children. 

Please could you sign the petition

Update on Whitehill Incinerator

Monica Lennon has been an excellent supporter for the full revoking of this planning permission that Scottish Government have now allowed, when the council threw it out.

However we have this man Alex Neil blaming everyone else stop the fighting Alex and do something for the people you are elected by, whose health is on the line drop the political CRAP!!!!

Meeting 11 November STOP THE INCINERATOR


This meeting was very informative and a decision was made to pursue a joint statement from all our supporters from all major political parties, the councillors David Mclachlan, Monica Lennon and Jim McGuigan, MSPs Margaret Mitchell, Richard lyle and Angela Crawley, this would be drafted by Monica and after all in agreement will be sent to Council Leaders and to Mr Alex Neil, also copies to be sent to SEEPA, who will be making the decision on Licence for Plant. There was also talk of Section 65 and Section 68 of the planning laws, 65 which would see the originals plans looked at again, however if Mr Alex Neil used the section 68 of the act then the planning permission would be overturned. 

SOLIDARITY IS THE KEY, FOR THE SAKE OF OUR CHILDREN AND OUR CHILDRENS CHILDREN, WE WILL WIN

HAMILTON TOP CROSS STALL SAT 31/10/15

What a great day handing out leaflets and making new friends to support our fight against the incinerator, and a very big shout out for little Caleb to the right of the picture, he approached us to help give the leaflets out and at only 11 he showed a maturity in his concern, as he said his friends all live in the Whitehill area close to the proposed site and they attend St Pauls Primary school.






Great day out in Hamilton



ALEX NEIL SNAKE

That awkward moment when the crowd realised Cabinet Secretary Alex Neil MSP had sneaked in the building and wouldn't come out and meet us. Shame on him.
We had gathered in the cold for a full hour before the meeting, and Alex had would not come out to address or acknowledge us is this the man of the people, clearly no and should be accountable to his boss, Nicola Sturgeon.
