SDLP Cllr Noreen McClelland has spoken out in support of the NoArc21 campaign against the proposed Incinerator Waste plant in Mallusk, Co Antrim.

The Councillor for Glengormley Urban DEA said: "Credit must be paid to NoArc21 who have campaigned relentlessly against the incinerator, and who now wait the final decision within the coming months. Their response thus far has been impressive, proportionate and entirely justified."

Cllr McClelland also expressed her support for the residents of Hightown in their opposition to the plant.

She added: "The SDLP have been consistent in speaking against the placing of an incinerator plant so close to several large residential developments, schools and an area of high scenic value like the Belfast Hills."
