Disgruntled residents opposed the Henrietta Street-based site
Around 70 protesters gathered outside Rossendale Council’s offices to express their disapproval of the council’s planning application which proposes to upgrade its controversial waste transfer station. Disgruntled residents from Bacup and Stacksteads held banners showcasing their opposition to the Henrietta Street-based site last Friday outside Futures Park, Bacup .
“The key priority of this was to raise awareness. Bacup has green rolling hills and it is a good place to raise a family and connect with the countryside, but slowly but surely we are having this eroded. The proposed change of the site layout includes the demolition of some buildings to be replaced with a single larger unit which will include waste storage bays. The council say this new larger unit should help to reduce noise and significantly improve the outlook of neighbouring properties.
Rossendale Council said: “The proposed facility on the site of the existing waste transfer station and the Council Environmental Operations Depot will ensure that waste continues to be managed responsibly and efficiently. Key features include a purpose-built building with advanced fire suppression systems, odour control technology, and a high-performance carbon filter system, all designed to enhance environmental protections for the surrounding area.
