It has recently come to our attention that Viridor plans to build a 'Resource Recovery Centre' at New England Quarry Lee Mill, which is less than 2 miles from the town of Ivybridge which has a population of over 12,000 residents (15% of South Hams total population).

We understand that the proposal is for the processing of 275,000 tonnes of waste each year and includes plans for a landfill, an incinerator and also an ash treatment facility to produce 62,500 tonnes a year of aggregates for the construction industry.

We are concerned about possible implications of this facility on our health, environment and economy and therefore request a full public consultation to be completed before planning permission is requested or granted. We do not consider that the exhibition that took place at the Ivybridge Watermark on Tuesday 22nd September, 3pm - 8pm, as having been sufficient, as very few local people were aware of this exhibition. We request that this exhibition be held again and that all residents of Ivybridge be better notified of this event in writing, such as via a leaflet posted through their doors and by posters displayed in the local town centre.

We also request that a follow-up public meeting take place following the exhibition, to give residents the chance to discuss any concerns with Viridor and the local council, after they have had time to digest the information presented at the exhibition.
