Comment by Guest  3rd August 2010 A bit of fun banter is never a bad thing but maybe this topic is a bit too serious to be detracting from the importance of opposing this threat to all the local communities

Comment by Guest  3rd August 2010 It's all getting a bit silly now, isn't it folks. We're playing right into Sky Propertie's hands... squabbling amongst ourselves. He's dividing us prior to conquering. Patricroft roads are Monton roads, Patricroft air is Monton air. Lets all pull together to stop this thing and its traffic from blighting our whole area. PhilML

Comment by Guest  3rd August 2010 So when did Monton Lighthouse become Patricroft Lighthouse, or Monton Green, Patricroft Green, its a darn sight closer to Monton bridge than Patricroft bridge.

Comment by Guest  2nd August 2010 If you check the boundaries you may find that the "Eco" dump site is actually in Patricroft, not Monton. It's South of the M602, but hey it's probably easier to try a shelve the issue as someone elses problem and leave it to the Monton lot to try and stop it. Well played.

Comment by Guest  2nd August 2010 Patricroft Pete is entitled to his opinions, would the good folk of Monton be bothered if the eco park was built on say, Cawdor Street or Station Road?, I think not, well said Pete.

Comment by Guest  2nd August 2010 pete seems to have gauged the situation very well

Comment by Guest  2nd August 2010 Are there any intelligent people in Patricroft? Surely you're not going to let Pete represent you? Use your imagination... this stinking monstrosity is going to affect the whole area, including Patricroft, which I've always thought to be a nice place, with nice people... I've obviously not met Pete. PhilML

Comment by Guest  31st July 2010 why have it here? why not an industrial area like trafford park,is someone getting thier palm greased?

Comment by Guest  31st July 2010 I'm the chap in the white shirt at the end of the video and also the Chairman of the opposition campaign. I currently live in Monton, but grew up in Patricroft and went to Lewis St school (on the next street down from Station Rd). This is an Eccles issue, not a Monton one. Eco Park? read between the lines people. If this gets passed, it will open the door for the surrounding properties who also want to process waste. Salford has worked hard to get out of the mess it was in 10 years ago. If this goes ahead, it will be the first step towards becoming the armpit of the Northwest. As in most of this type of situation, those with the loudest objections, usually have the best chance of defeating something like this. Make your voices heard. Hani.

Comment by Guest  31st July 2010 I atill maintain that the good folk of Monton would not be up in arms if the eco park was dumped in Station Road Patricroft, " not really really our place place to interfere in other peoples affairs" "pass the Balsamic will you darling" Patricroft Pete

Comment by Guest  31st July 2010 I read Pamela Welch's article int he Advertiser, she says 50 people were at the event, how much had she had to drink?, I was there and there was well over a 100 people in, in fact you could not enter the main room it was that full. Any chance of Anthony Hirsch talking to SalfordOnline, would be interesting to hear his side of the arguement

Comment by Guest  31st July 2010 patricroft pete dont forget to these gaurdian readers,this will be an eco park ie catering to their GREEN feelings,but its all right to bully your green views on someone else but this is a classic case of not in my back yard ragged trousered unemployed bldg british worker

Comment by Guest  30th July 2010 OOH! cutting Patricroft Pete, but very funny.

Comment by Guest  30th July 2010 Monton folk are famous throughout Salford for their Liberal views, Guardian readership,racial and ethnic equality, love of fine wine, balsamic vinegar and Summer fairs and their open arm policy to new people and ideas, they were the 1st to have a Italian eaterie, bisro's and chic charity shops were the locals went to be seen doing their bit for charity.So why don't they be the first on the block to have their own "Eco Park" could make for a good topic of conversation over the pasta and veal ( I've heard its scrummy )any way don't forget its a southerly wind in Monton and it will carry all those unusual smells towards Patricroft,where lets face it, you don,t give a s*** about the place or people who have the misfortune to be stuck there.Patricroft Pete.

Comment by Guest  30th July 2010 Yes, I've just seen the 'artist's impression' of the incinerator site... what a joke. Where are the neighbouring houses, and school? where's the 200 foot high chimney, where's the smoke? where are the 164 trucks? where's the log-jammed traffic? Where are the pedestrian school children? Come on Mr Hirsch, you'll have to do better than that. We know you consider us to be merely 'human receptors', but we're not that daft. Change your plans... work with us. PhilML

Comment by Guest  28th July 2010 I got my booklet from Sky Properties yesterday about the proposed site, what a con. It is in a nice green colour to give an eco friendly look to it, complete with photos of low energy lightbulbs, raw vegetables(?) and best of all an artists impression of the site with two joggers running past it, unbeliavable. Don't be fooled by this gobbledygook, its an incinerator plant burning household and domestic rubbish, twenty four hours a day, belching out potentially noxious fumes, with hundreds of HGV's passing through Monton daily seven days a week. Eco friendly my ar*e.

Comment by Guest  27th July 2010 Tony Many thanks for your coverage on what is a key concern for the community with the proposal to develop the waste centre. From the out turn on Saturday it is quite clear that there is a real rise in energy to object to the proposal of the waste centre and it must be said that the community have accepted that the ex Mitchell & Shackleton site needs to be developed to create job opportunities and enhance the area. This was certainly re-laid in the one and only CLG meeting with Sky properties some time ago where the community expressed there interest to work with Sky Property to pursue alternatives schemes for the site. Kind Regards, Steve G

Comment by Guest  26th July 2010 Thanks Tony for yet another well executed reporting project. Yur coverage will be very useful in letting people know that the real fight starts now. To any readers who signed the petitions in the early days of our campaign, can we ask you to write into the planning dept. again to register your new objection now that the application has actually gone in.
