The Labour politician has been a leading voice in objection to Cory Riverside Energy's proposals for a second incinerator on their site in Belvedere. Mr Cruddas' opposition to the Riverside Energy Park scheme centred around the impact of nitrous oxide emissions on residents in Rainham and South Hornchurch. A petition he set up against the plans was signed 2,000 times, while he made a submission to the planning inspectorate in 2019.
