Yorkshire villagers' incinerator face-mask protest
VILLAGERS and their children wore face masks and waved placards as councillors visited the site of a proposed waste incinerator in North Yorkshire.
Dozens of people protested at the site in the village of Tockwith after the controversial plans were submitted to North Yorkshire County Council in April.
BCB originally applied to build a waste incinerator and power station on the business park next to the village. The plans drew massive opposition from residents.
The plans were later withdrawn following objections from the Environment Agency – but another proposal for a waste incinerator is now being considered.
The protest was organised by Tockwith Residents Association, which says no incinerator should be operated so close to homes or businesses.
