Anti-incinerator protesters will challenge councillors on site visit

Protesters will challenge councillors later this week when they visit the site planned for the controversial Javelin Park incinerator at Haresfield.

Gloucestershire County Council's planning committee will visit the site on Thursday to look at where the £500million energy-from-waste plant would be built if they give it permission.

But campaign groups will descend on the area at 9.30am to let their views be known to decision makers.

The protest has been organised by campaign GlosVAIN, which has been running an anti-incinerator campaign for several months.

However, a decision will be made by Gloucestershire county councillors next Thursday (March 21) at a public meeting at 10am at Kingsholm Stadium in Gloucester.
