Leyland to Become the Waste Recycling Centre For

[BRUCE BENJAMIN]

With reference to noels view being spoiled by the waste-plant. When JJ rigby built his estate off Croston road, starting September 1968, the views of the hills and fields and the river Lostock from the pre-war houses on Croston road, were spoiled. By ALL the houses built on the site of the OLD SEWAGE SETTLING BEDS, by the river, including noels once home, but the long-time residents of Croston road had no say as to whether THEIR view was taken away.

To view the ACTUAL REALITY of this gigantic plants location. GO TO GOOGLE EARTH, ENTER pr26 6pl and the satelite's view will surprise you as to the distance from the river bank. Its the height and size of the buildings that change the perspective and decieve the eye.

With regard to 'TRAFFIC' THE ONLY ACCESS TO THE SITE, GAURANTEED CERTAIN, IS GOING TO COME OVER THE 35 YEAR OLD BRIDGE CROSSING THE MAIN-LINE RAILWAY, down to the DOUBLE TRAFFIC CIRCLE ON CROSTON ROAD, taking the same route as the DELIVERY WAGGONS for PACCAR, OVER THE RIVER, THEN RIGHT TURN ONTO THE SITE
Aprox. 1000 vehicle movements are anticipated, (500 in/out)

a thought here, does anyone remember the traffic on ALL the roads surrounding the late lamented Leyland Motors, when several thousand employees and hundreds of cars left at the same time. I'm sure that the residents of 'rubber-lane' do. And THEY will never see a 'garbage-truck',
