“Huge victory for campaigners as ‘harmful’ open storage plan is rejected” – Report on how the local community has forced Liverpool City Council to think again.
9 April 2025
Peloton’s plan for the former Garston industrial site on Blackburne Street has been put on hold. Liverpool City Council will visit the area in the next few weeks before making a decision. This is a small victory for our campaign to stop Peloton using this site for industrial storage. But we need to keep telling the Council and polluting companies they are not welcome here!
You can still object to the Peloton plan. See: ‘Examples on how to object’ below.
Fliers: ‘Community Homes Not Storage Zones’.
March 2025 (Planning Committee is 1 April)
The Peloton plan for a storage yard opposite Veolia in Garston will bring an increase in traffic and pollution. Object to Liverpool City Council before Friday 7th March. Examples on how to object here.
February 2025
Following many complaints about the smell and the pollution around the plant Liverpool City Council have met with the company. It is apparent that Veolia don’t know what is in the waste coming from Intel (Ireland), which is a complex mixture of ‘Forever Chemicals’.
Incident Logs are being distributed.

Veolia exposed – Despite denials, they can incinerate waste in Garston!
——————————————
Liverpool City Council (LCC) approved increases to the chemical waste processing and storage capacity at Veolia (Garston) without going to Planning Committee and without an Environmental Impact Assessment for a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project.
Toxic and explosive waste will be stored next to people’s homes and close to schools.
Garston is being re-industrialised at the expense of the community, who have to put up with significant rises in heavy traffic, noise and air pollution and increased risk to Health, Safety and the Environment.
LCC has contracts worth £640M with Veolia.
We are opposed to this development and believe that the way to challenge it is as a community.
