CLEVELAND FUELS LTD'S PROPOSAL FOR INCINERATOR AT RENFREW

EDM number 1182 in 1990-91, proposed by Irene Adams on 23/07/1991.

That this House congratulates the Clydeside Against Pollution Group on its thorough, reasonable and determined campaign against the proposal by Cleveland Fuels Ltd to develop an incinerator at Renfrew; notes that more than 14,000 people have objected to this proposal on planning, environmental, economic and social grounds; congratulates Renfrew District Council for insisting that the company should seek planning permission from the elected planning committee so that these objections may be properly and publicly considered; condemns Cleveland Fuels Ltd for attempting to ride rough-shod over normal planning procedures; deplores its attempt to intimidate the elected representatives of the communities affected by buying advertising space in a Scottish newspaper to criticise their stance in support of the people they represent; assures them that this tactic will not work; and calls upon Cleveland Fuels Ltd, even at this late stage, to either withdraw its proposal or make it subject to proper, democratic, public determination.

This motion has been signed by a total of 25 MPs.
