How many Merseyside "Recycling" site fires have we had in the last year, that must be at least five?


There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025

Quite a few. Just another form of re-cycling and/or polluting.

Somewhat counter productive !

Wondering if these companies dealing with waste need insurance or if they can claim when someone else's old rubbish goes up in flames ?

How can a load of old rubbish be assessed for insurance claims ?

Saw it when I was at Woodside for the Cockleshell Heroes Commemoration. It was a huge smoke pall that's for sure.
