Campaigners who oppose plans to expand Nottingham's Eastcroft incinerator have joined a national coalition of community groups.

Representatives of 25 groups are meeting to form an Anti-Incineration Network to actively support each other.

Jon Beresford of local campaign group, NAIL - Nottingham Against Incineration and Landfill - said: "This network will be an incredible resource for any community group fighting waste incineration.

 

"People in Nottingham, like people right across the country, do not want incinerators.

"Incinerator contracts work against rising recycling rates and inevitably result in resources being wasted.

"Councils should have policies for encouraging households to reduce and minimise waste."
