ON June 29 2021, Envar Ltd made an application to expand their site at Woodhurst, a small village situated near St Ives in Huntingdonshire. The application included plans for a healthcare waste energy recovery facility, a cunningly greenwashed term for a waste incinerator.
Concerned about the environmental impact, communities and activists from all surrounding villages came together and formed the People Opposing Woodhurst Incinerator campaign group (Powi).
For the people living in and around Woodhurst, these plans cast a fuggy grey shadow of uncertainty over the nearby free-range egg farm, fruit farm, and Silks Farm, a nursery for infants. The Raptor Centre, a charity for the rescue and rehabilitation of birds of prey, is also very close by, along with residential areas.
