In the first instance contact DOVE -

DOVE, Defenders of the Ouse Valley and Estuary was formed to address major environmental interests in the Ouse Valley and to protect it for future generations. We are opposed to the proposal to build an incinerator in this area but further believe that it should not be built anywhere else. Our aims are to:

• promote measures to conserve the Ouse Valley as a beautiful and healthy environment, a home and a place of recreation for all of us, our children, and our children's children.
• raise awareness and understanding of the key issues we face and to represent the views of the communities in towns and villages throughout the Ouse Valley
• research and share information to encourage waste recycling, reduction, re-use and composting
• work with other community-based groups with similar aims
• lobby County Councillors and MP's

Secondly - personally lobby your local MP

Write to, fax or email your local Brighton & Hove MP.
