A PUBLIC meeting to mobilise opposition against the planned New Barnfield incinerator will take place tonight (Monday).

The gathering will be held at St John’s Youth and Community Centre, in Bishops Rise, South Hatfield.

It will give residents the opportunity to hear the latest developments in the long-running saga and plan future campaigning activities.

Speakers will include air pollution expert Dr Dick Van Steenis.

Lib Dem parliamentary candidate Paul Zukowskyj said the meeting offered people the chance to co-ordinate and organise opposition to the council’s “barmy” plans.

“I urge everyone in South Hatfield that has any desire to make their area a better place to live to come along to the meeting,” he said.

“You need to make sure your voice is heard and together we can get the Conservatives at county hall to see sense and abandon these absurd plans.”

The meeting starts at 7.30pm.
