Alternative to incinerator Sue Oppenheimer, director of R4C - a company behind sustainable, alternative means of waste disposal - will be giving a talk in Tewkesbury this month. Sue will be talking about an alternative proposal to the Javelin Incinerator at Haresfield, fall-out from which could land on Tewkesbury Borough residents. It is of great concern to environmentalist Cate Cody of Stonehills, Tewkesbury, who said: “This will be a good opportunity for Tewkesbury residents to hear about the implications this incinerator may have on our community.” The talk is free of charge and will take place at the Wheatpieces Community Centre on Wednesday 5th April, starting at 6.30pm.
