national anti incinerator gathering coming up

elsa | 04.10.2006 10:45 | Ecology | London

To bring together anti-incineration groups from all over England and Wales to get inspiration for their own campaigning, hear what some authorities are doing that are trying not to go down the mass burn incineration route and to discuss how the network of groups can best be supported.

Incineration Summit, Sat 28 Oct, 10am-5pm, NCVO, London

The meeting will be 10am-5pm at NCVO (15 minutes walk from St Pancras). A confirmed agenda and booking form will be sent out in September. The draft agenda and list of groups invited is below.

Objective
To bring together anti-incineration groups from all over England and Wales to get inspiration for their own campaigning, hear what some authorities are doing that are trying not to go down the mass burn incineration route and to discuss how the network of groups can best be supported. The summit will also allow the individuals from community campaign groups to pledge to resist the expansion of mass
burn incineration.

Agenda

Welcome to the day and what we hope to get out of it.

Views from the coalface. Presentations by (potentially):

* Mayor or Deputy Mayor of London – how London is planning to deal with its waste without mass burn incineration
* Somerset County Council – a rural council’s perspective of waste issues
* Nuneaton FOE – raising incineration as a local election issue
* Norwich FOE – the importance of alliances to defeat a proposal
* Hampshire FOE group- what next if it gets built?
* Panel discussion and questions from the floor
