Research published a few days ago in the medical journal, The Lancet, raises concern over incinerators, which have been linked with cancer and serious illnesses.
A contract was signed subject to planning permission being granted to build an incinerator at Stallingborough.
North East Lincs planning committee voted six to one in favour of it.
This is the biggest issue in the election campaign.
I am deeply concerned that following the vote Labour and Conservative planning committee members in favour of having an incinerator here, it has gone very quiet.
Labour policy is to build incinerators all over the UK to burn household waste.
Liberal Democrats and environmental groups have long campaigned against this policy.
The only way we can now stop the plant being built here is for the Government to intervene and announce an immediate moritoium on building incinerators until the health impacts are fully understood.
