CAMPAIGNERS opposed to the construction of an incinerator next to a special needs school in Hatfield have ‘banded’ together to raise awareness of their crusade.

MP Grant Shapps, Hatfield South borough councillor David Hughes and resident Dawn Hunt have had hundreds of blue wristbands made bearing the slogan ‘Help Us To Save New Barnfield’.

The bands also display the website address for www.savenewbarnfield.com - the site founded by Mr Shapps to oppose the county council’s plans to build an incinerator at New Barnfield in Travellers Lane.
