I am quite suprised to see the current results of the poll running on Quedgeley people regarding local feeling about the Waste Incinerator at Javelin Park. The vote currently stands at 62 - No and 38 - Yes which is a lot closer than I thought it would be. Obviously there are people in the community that feel this development would be good for Quedgeley. I can see both sides of the arguement so its quite a tough vote but I still have to say that I dont want it on my doorstep.

I have to agree Trixie44 I would have thought that there would have been a much bigger gap. I wonder if people are un decided about what their feelings are about the incinerator due to lack of information and knowledge regarding the effect and consequences the incinerator will have on their community. All the information provided so far has either been from pro incinerator groups or groups thoroughly opposing the idea so there doesn't seem to be any unbiased information out there.

I think your right, I would like to see a more joined up approach between City and County council to get better recycling rates, and a more sensible approach to recycling itself. I would be looking at the recycling reclamation centres they have in the likes of Worcestershire and then see where that leaves us.

Unfortunately we have a system that is spread between both councils, one is responsible for collection and the other is responsible for disposal, and they don't seem to work well together to produce an optimum solution.

If we recycled all we could, it would be interesting to see just how much there would be do dispose of.
