CHAIN wins more time for public to object The people of Northwich originally had until 5 May to write letters or emails objecting to the incinerator. However, following a complaint by CHAIN about Brunner Mond's press advertisements, the Department of Energy and Climate Change has confirmed the ads will be corrected and republished. This means that the consultation process, including the 28 day period allowed for the public to lodge objections, will recommence at a future date - expected to be in early July. Get your letters of objection ready to send when the new consultation period starts. Download CHAIN's guidelines for objecting and a list of points you could use in your objections.
