"Covanta intends to source waste from across the region. "Should Covanta be successful in Merseyside Waste Disposal Authority's procurement, the facility will have sufficient capacity to treat this waste and additional waste streams." Weaver Vale MP Graham Evans said: "The economics of situation would require the incinerators to take in additional waste from outside Cheshire and, inevitably, the increase in heavy trucks travelling back and forth is only going create more pollution and put even further stress on the local road network. "In my view, these proposals are poorly thought out, unjustified and environmentally unsound."
