There is no way Middlewich should have to suffer a landfill site an an incinerator, especially with so much doubt and concern over safety.
Now if the people of Middlewich (and Cheshire in general) can club together and become pioneers of waste reduction they can negate the need for the landfill. It's the only way such projects can be stopped long term.
