“Living near United Mines waste (recycling ) Dump I believe that we might now face another extension to this facility now the incinerator has been thrown out. I Say enough is enough time everyone bore the responsibility of their own waste . Perhaps then everyone would be more careful with their rubbish and even cut down recycle or even reuse. We live in a throw away attitude society and the future generations will have to pay the price. Does anyone really consider this or even care ask your children better still ask your grandchildren what they think of a poisoned world.”

“I just want to send my congratulations to everyone who has worked so hard over the last 3+ years fighting this application.
I am proud that I was part of this group who put their heads down did their homework and research to find out all the pros and cons of this application.
Never have Stig simply been about Not In My Back Yard we have always given alternatives that are more suitable and less polluting than an incinerator.
There have been many untruths surrounding this development including the creation of jobs. Lets look at the FACTS - Sita French owned company, designed by a company from Japan, other companies used by Sita came from Bristol and Hampshire. Have you noticed that Cornwall has not been mentioned so far? Oh and by the way when talking about the construction of the plant Sita were saying that it would be people from 'up country' who would be employed as Cornwall don't have the skills! The numbers for people working at the site were between 48-72 many of them already employed by Sita so not really any jobs created.
If people want to put blame on someone perhaps they need to turn their thoughts to those in Cornwall County Council who just ploughed ahead even though over the many years this has been on the table were told it wasn't right for Cornwall and Sita for not having a plan B.”

“Anaerobic Digestion [AD] for organic waste - AD is a mature technology. Pyrolysis/gasification for end of use materials. Pilot a Bio Char plant. Re-use/recycle other materials.

All this requires separation at source which requires in turn education and infrastructure build.

Time is short and we must get on. If the inertia of bureaucracy gets in the way we must do it ourselves and divert our council tax to solve this pressing problem.

Since AD produces energy [and fertiliser] we can regard organic waste as a fuel. We need well sorted material, i.e., no plastics in the organic waste stream. We can introduce an incentive to sort domestic waste by offering money off energy coupons for good sorted organic waste. These coupons can also be used as a local currency that is interst-free. A new currency that has nothing to do with the banks and their debts would be introduced to further help us through these turbulent days.

We MUST get on with this NOW!!

Well done protesters!”

“Just to say that the incineraor was designed by a company in Japan, Sita are a French owned company building was going to be done by out of Cornwall companies because CCC and Sita claimed that the skills don't exist in Cornwall(!?) and the running of the plant would create 48 jobs. STIG have always said that there should be various technologies used that are sited around the County to ensure that jobs were created and spread around the County.
I have met so many people over the years who have told me that incineration is great AS LONG AS IT'S NOT NEAR ME!
One last thing everyone that has worked so hard to stop this development also pay council tax and will also have to foot the bill for the increased land fill taxes please don't blame people who stood up to the bullies in County Hall blame them for not listening to communties and waste experts (other than those they employed who had a vested interest in incineration). Let's face it this is not the first (nor the last) time that CCC have wasted tax payers money.
I for one am proud of the work the people of Stig have done and if any community in the county need our support and help in the future then get in touch we will be there for you because we ARE NOT NIMBYS nor second home owners!!”

“Patricia, I read your letter with interest, the denial of this issue being one of -not on my doorstep thank-you- surprised me. Throughout this campaign (well done all, the incinerator was actually against Government guidelines) I have never read an article that said you were fighting for the good of Cornwall, or indeed, society in general. Perhaps this is my mistake for not reading reports in close detail, apologies if this is the case, if not, perhaps you would care to blame the press for not fully reporting the facts.

Let¿s all return to the actual issue, waste disposal¿..leave aside the ruling Liberal Council having to face local elections, which no doubt due to a lack of courage by the electorate they will win¿..is recycling the answer? Possibly but there are a myriad of problems associated with recycling. CCC/SITA actually deposit nearly fifty per cent of your recycled rubbish into landfill.

Please take the time to reflect upon this fact, (no doubt denied by CCC) while you give this Council your precious unpaid time and energy sorting, washing and crushing their problem they just dump anything that is not profitable into landfill regardless of your efforts.”

“Tom Truro
Bio Char is only the by product
All other matter including pastic, be it film that no one wants to treat or the stuff that is currently recycled can be transferred into energy. We can either use the feed stock of the rubbish to make electricty , or diesel, or ethanol, there are no other by products and nothing need go to landfill at all”

“call us NIMBYS if you like but keep hold of STIG's contact details cos this beast ain't dead yet and it could be coming your way and you'll need all the help you can get,KEEP THE FAITH”

“It is noticeable that all those that have written in on this comments page in favour of the incinerator, all live outside St Dennis/Clay Country...
Speaks volumes...”

“There's an interesting article on the Simply Green Cornwall website; A plant that can convert any organic waste (including agricultural waste and even sewage) into carbon neutral bio-diesel, while producing enough gas to provide the energy to run the actual plant. Too good to be true? Possibly, but I've not heard much discussion in Cornwall about the potential benefits of Thermal depolymerisation.

Article is as http://simplygreencornwall.com”

“Hmmm I eagerly await the reslut of the appeal,....you know the one that will be held AFTER the elections.”
