A day of protest against the incinerator

We were thrilled to take part in the demonstration today alongside Cllr Haney and Cllr Rooney against the Hownsgill Incinerator. The event was organised by the Say No to Consett Incinerator group who have worked very hard to have the proposals rejected. Local planners were visiting the site and the people of Consett wanted to show them exactly what they think of the project - and did so in style! 

It was very well attended and was even reported in the Evening Chronicle. You can read the article here. Watch the Say No song below which was also playing loud and proud for the planning committee representatives to hear. As local councillors, we have been proud to see the local community and elected members work together to try and have these plans rejected.
