Residents in the Horwich area are once again subject to a significant fire at the Armstrong’s Recycling plant, on Chorley New Road. This time, residents have been warned that the fumes, which could also be smelt in Blackrod, may be toxic – and to keep doors an windows shut.
This is the third fire at local recycling plants in as many weeks, and the second at the Chorley New Road Site in the same period. The plant has also reeked havoc in previous years – with many residents still fighting damage claims.
We have been contacted by a large number of people asking for help, regarding the ongoing problems. It has been suggested that a new group could be formed, which can work alongside Blackrod and Horwich Environmental Action Group in trying to resolve the issues. Anyone interested in attending the first meeting should contact BHEAG@HOTMAIL.COM
The battle with the quarries continues.
Once again, concerns about the proposals for the massive Blue NG plant in Blackrod have been voiced.
The message is clear “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH”
