Eco power site near Ferndown sparks air pollution concerns

CONCERNS have been raised by Dorset councillors about a waste to fuel plant being planned for a site to the north of Bournemouth Airport. One councillor said he understood why the possible effect from air pollution on nearby heathland was being considered – but struggled to see much in official documents about any risks to thousands of people who live and work in the area. One report has suggested that ash falling on heathland soils nearby could make it over-acidic effecting its long-term viability, although Natural England has said it is satisfied with the proposals. Wimborne councillor Shane Bartlett, who raised the concern about people’s health, was told that council environmental health officers had raised no worries about the effect of the development on people nearby.

Environment portfolio Cllr Ray Bryan has warned that the estimated total £130m cost of climate change policies for Dorset Council could result in a 5 per cent increase in the council tax – which could force a public referendum. He said that while the climate consultation was well supported a general residents’ survey only placed climate change and carbon reduction as the 9th priority for Dorset Council. There is no money in the current council budget for climate change, other than Government grant funding for changes to council buildings.
