European energy company Energos have made a planning application to build a waste disposal incinerator on Knowsley industrial Estate, within half a mile of some residents on school lane, but in any event, within a mile of the entire village. Knowsley village is the jewel in the crown of Knowsley Borough, especially the triangle and the origins of the village are named in the Doomsday book. Many local residents struggle to achieve planning permission to make even small additions to their homes, yet the council are considering allowing a filthy industrial plant right in our back yard. The plant will include a 180ft tall chimney and will recieve approximately 40, 40 ton waste collection vehicles PER DAY, with no effective control over the route these vehicles will take. If you wish to register your opposition to the incinerator, add your details to the petition and it may help us oppose the planning application.

I really thought this might just be me shouting into the void about these trucks but look at where we are now. It is honestly surreal to see so many people who actually care about the village and protecting our history from this massive chimney. Honestly I am kind of overwhelmed by the momentum building up because it really feels like the council can no longer pretend we just accept this disaster.

This is disgusting. My kids play around school lane and the air quality is already worrying enough without a massive incinerator dumping fumes on us. Stop it now.

Ridiculous idea. Knowsley village is a historic place not a dumping ground for waste. Council needs to listen to us for once instead of just big companies.
