This council has given financial support to Campaign for Residents Against Portobello (CRAP) to oppose an incinerator in Newhaven.
It is my opinion, and my opinion only, that to support firework displays is not in keeping with our support to CRAP.
There are more dioxins produced in Lewes on one night than any incinerator would produce in a year and, with firework displays now being a regular weekend occurrence in the area, I am not happy to support these displays.
Any decision that the council comes to will be a democratic majority vote. Many hundreds of Peacehaven residents signed against an incinerator in Newhaven and all councillors will have to make up their own mind how to balance public opinion in their own wards.
Fireworks have not been ruled out but there are other concerns.
-John Livings, Peacehaven Town Council
