DEVELOPMENT planners from Lancashire County Council visited the site of the proposed incinerator at Valley Gardens, Accrington Road, Hapton, last week.

The visit was followed by a presentation at Rosegrove Unity club.

Local residents Mr Rendel and Mr Hindle from the business park on Network 65 explained the concerns and the pitfalls that could happen if this proposal for the animal incinerator was granted.

A local expert planner also spoke on their behalf with his own views why the plans should not be granted.
