Nearly 2,000 people signed a petition calling for the plans to be stopped
Plans to open a new incinerator to burn waste plastic in Clydebank have been thrown out in a move welcomed by environmental campaigners.
Local residents had previously voiced their opposition to the plans at a demonstration close to the site. A petition was also launched calling for a stop to the plans attracting nearly 2,000 signatures. “The decision by Peel L&P to cancel their plans shows that they acknowledge the new incinerator won’t be accepted under the moratorium. The Scottish Government’s policy sends a strong signal to industry that the future of waste management in Scotland is changing. Developers should take note that Scotland will no longer tolerate their plans to burn precious resources.
