Stop the planning of the Gasification plant in Washington, Tyne & Wear.
A 215,000 tonne gasification plant may be built.
Industries, environment (through mass and unnecessary volume of energy waste) and future generations to come, will be affected.
Contradicting a core strategy for cleaner air and puts worries of the environment if incinerators are granted permission.
This plan is masked as a benefit to the local area and society as an Energy Centre but has little/no advantages to the local community, individual health, the environment itself, not to mention the toxicity of polluting the air with energy waste, going against the core strategies for cleaner air. Numerous pages across Facebook have been created in an attempt to prevent this harmful Enery Centre being based in this area. Please sign the petition to make our voices heard.

Once an application is made for a development to take place, all local residents have the right to request that a planning application be ‘called in’ by the Department for Communities and Local Government. This means that it will assess the planning application against certain criteria and decide if a full inquiry is needed. For more information, including the criteria and how to request the call in of a planning application, see:
