Ernesettle and the Incineration of Waste Issue

Tamar Valley at Ernesettle wasted

STIFLE held a very successful public meeting on Saturday 24 January 2009 in the Parkway Social Club Ernesettle Lane with Alison Seabeck MP for Plymouth Devonport and Colin Breed MP for South East Cornwall.

It was very significant that about 300 people from both sides of the Tamar came to show their support! It will be interesting to see if the views of so many local residents will be taken into account. This is the valley they live in, so they should have a say.

Background to the Ernesettle Waste Issue

All councils are faced with the issue of waste. Plymouth City Council,

Devon County Council and Torbay Council have joined together as the

South West Devon Waste Partnership to work on the problem. SWDWP

is Plymouth based at the Civic Centre Plymouth. info@swdwp.co.uk.

An energy from Waste facility, EfW, looks like being built at Ernesettle or

Coypool but may be at Wrangaton or Lee Mill. There has been many,

many objections to this Incinerator at Ernesettle from Plymouth people

and Saltash communities, but they have been largely ignored. A new

group has now been formed called STIFLE. (Stop The Incinerator Fouling

Land at Ernesettle), and the companies tendering for the Incinerator will

have some contentious issue to face up to, from this group. This website

gives information on these issues.

Defra have given the grant to Plymouth for developing an

energy from waste facility. Plymouth are saying Ernesettle

or Coypool. There are little or no objections to Coypool. There are

many and always have been objections to Ernesettle.

The waste plan now goes out to tender and there will be many

objecting to any Ernesettle sitings. The communities of Saltash,

Pillaton, St Budeaux, Honicknowle and beyond are now more

informed about these issues.

If we live in a democracy, then public concern should be acted

upon and not sidestepped by the people the public put in office.
