They can if they remove the tanks; there is a way around this after a new building has been built as well, because the ones on Reeds Lane/Leasowe Road never had the tanks removed and there was a big delay in them being signed off as a result of it (there was talk of them being pulled down and rebuilt) but they have people living in them now.

Petrol stations do need to close from time to time and have the tanks replaced - Tesco were forced to close their petrol station by the authorities which is why all of a sudden they closed it with no prior warning and for no apparent reason a year or two ago (because they were found to be in breach of safety legislation according to people working there) and then a few weeks afterwards they had their tanks replaced and re-opened it and the Shell on Hoylake Road closed a few months back for two weeks when they had their tanks replaced.

Ste mate, they don't exactly want to advertise that they were operating in breach of health and safety regulations. The staff were ony telling people because they were sick of people moaning and asking why the petrol station was shut for no reason.

yeah Grove road opposite Flynns piece they built flats on a site of a petrol station. They probably still get a whiff of it every now and then.
