PROTESTERS have unveiled their interpretation of a proposed incinerator by Brunner Mond.

The move by anti-incinerator action group CHAIN came in direct response to the soda ash manufacturer’s artist impressions of the plant, which were published in last week’s Guardian.

The company wants to knock down the old power station at its site in Griffiths Road, Lostock, and replace it with an incinerator that would burn fuel recovered from waste and provide power for the plant.

But the images were met with disdain by opponents who felt they did not reflect the true scale.

CHAIN spokesman Liam Byrne said there were ‘gasps’ from the 200 present at a meeting in Northwich Memorial Hall when the group revealed its version.

He said: “The recent publication by Brunner Mond of artist impressions of their proposed incinerator were described as ‘fantasy fairy tale castles’, which give no idea of the scale of the plant or any other important information.

“We provided a more realistic diagram, which we describe as the ‘The Picture They Don’t Want Northwich to See’.

“It brought gasps of incredulity from many present and they were reassured about the accuracy of the figures provided.”
