Invergordon Incinerator - NO !

I note that there is to be a Public Inquiry on the 6th June into the proposed Incinerator to be sited at Invergordon. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-17534479 I hope that the River Community Council and for that matter all of Nairn's Community councils put in strong objections to this proposal. As a long term Nairn resident and ex boat owner / fisherman. I would like to point out that the prevailing winds during the Summer months come from across the firth, and I'm sure many of you will be aware of industrial smells coming from the Cromarty firth as well as heather burning etc, proof that air pollution does travel this far.
The Nairn tourist trade is important, and any health scare stories about fallout from Invergordon will not help Nairn whatsoever. All of us experience from time to time the sewage smells coming from the east of the town, the last thing we want is industrial scale burning coming from the north as well - particularly throughout the summer ! I hope all our politicians make this an election pledge, for the sake of keeping Scotland beautiful and as pollution free as possible. D - day 6th of June should be a storming of the northerly beaches by Nairn objectors to any incinerator that will impact on us !
