Following a recent meeting with CHAIN, the Cheshire anti-incinerator campaign group, Graham has written to the new Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, Ed Davey MP, asking him to meet with a CHAIN delegation to discuss a number of issues, including the recent announcement of a major new Health Protection Agency study into incinerators.

Graham has been a longstanding supporter of the local resident-led campaign. He gave evidence on behalf of his constituents at the recent public inquiry and has regularly made representations to Ministers.

Graham said: "CHAIN have done a great job raising awareness and campaigning on this issue. It is important that the concerns of local residents are fully heard by the Secretary of State. The report by the Planning Inspector will soon be on his desk and I am urging him to turn down the incinerator application".
